If the content varies from other guides out there, then it should be
written.  I think using Fedora in your examples should be enough to
justify inclusion in our publications.  So to turn the question around,
what makes your ideas different?

If we want to draw users and contributors who aren't distro/OS shopping
we need to show that what they do is both able to be done in Fedora and
in some cases works better than what they may be doing today.

That said, I don't think we are adding value by duplicating something
already done better elsewhere, especially if the net change is roughly
's/apt/dnf/'.  I realize you are deliberately trying to avoid this and
this is fantastic.
