Subject: [PATCH] brief-yoctoprojectqs: shorten and clarify required host packages
Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2025 08:01:47 -0500 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8a97eda5-0b39-03dc-1e37-76031a747f46@crashcourse.ca> (raw)
Rather than refer specifically to Ubuntu and show an example of
installing essential packages, just refer the reader to the page on
supported Linux distributions and leave it at that.
