was reading Superior Internet Privacy with Whonix | Hacker News and a lot of people suggested it wasn’t clear what Whonix is/does it unless you click on 2nd link.

This is difficult to solve. There are different types of readers on a spectrum of technical skills, time available and attention spawns.
Type 1) very non-technical laymen not knowing jargon
Operating system? What’s that?Debian? What’s that?Linux? What’s that?Tor network? What’s that?Virtual machines? What’s that?VM? What’s that?VPN? What’s that?
Type 2) basic computer knowledge but still laymen

They do not need to do any of that:
