And that's what you get for not reading enough Linux sites to keep up with the ever changing Linux community.
Thanks to Ikey Dougherty (Solus founder and lead dev) any distro that uses AppArmor and has snap support can install Steam in the blink of an eye. So currently anything Ubuntu based, Solus, and Debian 9 (I think) can simply install the snaps for the solus runtime and steam and be fully functional. Ikey has put a lot of time into the LSI and it's pretty damned impressive.
The parts you brought up are exactly the kinds of things we're talking about that resemble homework or are otherwise unnecessary or confusing actions.Why do we care about the last lines of some log files and why would we want to keep those in a notebook/journal?
You wouldn't do this. You'd get LibreOffice maintained by your distribution though the package manager. Getting/installing RPMs off the web in this manner makes your system unsustainable in the long run. maybe the short run depending on any package conflicts.
I don't understand why we're doing the above, and again, it smells of a learning exercise and not what someone would readily want or need to do upon install. On top of that - Why are we using a for loop when you can just chain packages onto your package manager install command? #dnf install blender k3d k3b makehuman audacity timeshift wireshark handbrake emacs
Usually you set time and timezones up during install. I don't have any ready feedback on this section otherwise.
Again... I don't know why this would be a thing. Nothing explains why we want to do the above steps.
I can approve of "PermitRootLogin no" in your sshd_config. However, what's this "j" command? It's quite possible I missed an alias or something earlier in the instructions due to formatting/readability.
Hey. Remember that you're the one who asked for feedback.

Your followup topic with "preparing for a power or internet outage" is a large topic in itself. If you're running a modern system with online repositories, then you're going to have to look into mirroring those repositories if you wanted to maintain a local copy of everything you could possibly need. Most distributions have pages on how to setup a mirror, so you should be able to locate that if you really wanted to. However, if this is a general purpose walk-though, then I'd say most users don't need to concern themselves with this either.
You don't know how to document and if you do then you fail to see the purpose you arrogant person you.

It really seems like an exercise in how to use RPM. From a documentation/guide standpoint, it's bad because you're referencing a specific version and file to fetch that will be quickly obsolete.
exact syntax might be wrong, but the instructions should be a simple package manager command such as:
#dnf install libreoffice
#apt install libreoffice or
#zypper install libreoffice
The rpm is used to record packages and was a typo if it said it for Linuxmint, but I have read that repos don't work or work well in Linuxmint Debian because they are experiment in that distro.

No loops required.

It's to set network time just in case for Fedora and I want to know how to do it in Ubuntu or debian distros that's why I asked. It should say to set NTP, but you didn't seem to read that did you.

I'm really not trying to poo on your walkthrough, just it's either not very good, I'm missing some context that makes it make sense, or it's very much built just for you.
I'm not going to go down the rabbit hole of name calling or listing off certifications but if you want to play that game you're not going to like what I have to offer.
As for "because they are experiment in that distro" you won't know until you try or hell just install the damn .deb file from libreoffice instead. There is zero reason to use the RPM on a debian based distro no matter what.
I still don't even understand what the project is really trying to do. Install Fedora or a debian based Linux distro and do what with it? Install Steam and LibreOffice? Can you post the actual document for the project? That way maybe we could fully understand what the teacher is trying have you do because I'm with Ocellaris here. The bunch of text you posted is really unclear as to what it's really trying to do. It really is just a wall of text with no clear explanation of what is trying to be accomplished.
This is not for a class project and the goal is to install the top four linux distros prior to installing steam and maybe tell how to configure or at how I would configure my system after wards, which I usually start with security. The guide is not to install just LibreOffice or even OpenOffice for that matter either, but that step is more of did it install properly or did you remember to select to install it during the Operating System installation or did it install correctly solution, so that they have it as soon as they need to hopefully do what they need as soon as possible because a word processor is so important out of the box especially if say they want to write there own guide on how to install it or do something else using a word processor. This it titled project because it was a personal project, since people had so much trouble or didn't think it was possible to run steam let alone for Valve and Gabe Newell to finally make it for even one Linux distro or didn't know how to install steam or how to properly install the operating system and what to expect. It's wall of text because it didn't paste right and it has an explanation now, but I'm not going to post it because I'm just getting ridiculed for how complex and detailed it is as well as since it doesn't appear right considering it not pasting right. I'm not going to post the others new separates on Fedora or OpenSUSE either because of this now and if you want them maybe I'll still post them to Filedropper. You really don't read do you also the point of what your trying to do is install a Debian or Fedora distro and configure it, which now the instructions for Fedora and Debian distros has been separated and fixed.
Or you could just read Phoronix, Distrowatch, and LWN like the rest of us on a daily basis and get all the Linux news you need.
I don't read those because I generally do not like the new distros they talk about especially, since there are really only 4 major obvious ones being Redhat, SUSE, Debian or Ubuntu as well as Fedoral as and 2 actual distros, which are Redhat and Debian or at least according to LPIC and an Instructor here at the University I'm attending who also has his Phd in electrical engineering and worked at a computer factory, like Dr. Hartmann who I mistakenly mentioned the name of unintentionally, even if that sound silly or paranoid to worry about.
