But the final mapping of the contents varies a bit: What before was https://tb-manual.torproject.org/en-US/secure-connections.html now is https://tb-manual.torproject.org/en-US/secure-connections , and the previous link is giving a 404.
I think we should have
* a redirect that goes: if 404, then strip '.html' and try again.
* a way to monitor the 404 errors for a while to be able to map more redirections. This resources have been widely linked and we should make sure we can keep those links.emmapeelemmapeelhttps://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/web/manual/-/issues/39Update Installation Instructions for Linux2021-01-29T15:13:26ZNicolei OcañaUpdate Installation Instructions for LinuxAs per request by @gus, below is a user's concern and resolution regarding the instructions for Linux:

>Hello,
>I believe the instructions under the "For GNU/Linux:" section of "https:/tb-manual.tor-project.org/installation/" could be incorrect.
>On Ubuntu 20.04 it worked until step 5 where I was required to right click on "start-tor-browser.desktop" and make it executable.
>It turns out (for me at least) that this does not work, instead of launching tor-browser it simply launches the file in a text editor.
>After extracting with "tar -xf" a folder was created called tor-browser_en-US.
Inside it was the .desktop file and a folder named "Browser".
Inside the Browser folder was a file named start-tor-browser (it had no extension).
I had to make that file executable and then move the .desktop file to ~/.local/share/applications.
From there i could find it by amongst all other applications (more specifically i was able to press super then type tor and the icon would pop-up.championquizzerchampionquizzer@torproject.orgchampionquizzerchampionquizzer@torproject.orghttps://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/web/manual/-/issues/38Favicon Should Appear2020-10-16T02:31:39ZNicolei OcañaFavicon Should Appear# Currently
