Isn't it going to be different depending on the Linux distribution, how it was installed and other system parameters? I'm just wondering if it's even worth having this information if it's not going to half of the time

I cannot speak to that at this time. I do not have an Ubuntu etc image spun up to test. We could denote that the above commands were specifically tested on Fedora. This should cover a large install base. I believe there is value if we can assist a segment of the user base (anyone who is using Fedora/binary copy of fedora).

This does not seem to take into account ~/JoplinBackup. I appreciate the initiative but instead direct uninstall instructions I would love to see explanations to what each of these Joplin files on the systems do.

Is this error a blocker in merging this PR?

Closing as unfortunately we can't merge PR that fail CI and I'm afraid we don't have capacity to explain how to fix things.
