  I recently was at a seminar where the lady sitting next to me was a network analyst. Her laptop was running debian and she needed to install docker to be able to work along in the seminar, so she did the logical thing which was to go to docker.com and opened the "Get docker" menu. Under that menu, there are two main options, "Mac" and "Windows". She managed to get down to the "for servers" section and click "debian" at which point she was directed to "download docker from the docker store" at which point she was lost for a while. Then she managed to get to this document https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/docker-ce/debian/ https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/docker-ce/... at which point I had to help her, because she didn't know which exact version of debian she was running and didn't know how to find out. I would say it was pretty much a catastrophe, as she spent about half an hour trying to get docker installed. You ran "yum install docker-ce" you were lucky that you knew the name of the package. I didn't know the name on Fedora, and looking here https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/docker-ce/fedora/ https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/docker-ce/... didn't help one bit. Indeed, that page doesn't include a line with "yum" in it at all!
