Resume guides

Install a local desktop client, export PDF and plain text, and compare desk options without adware download portals. Pick an operating-system walkthrough first, then read first-run and export notes. Keep the Releases URL on the machine ticket beside the OS version.

Workshop hosts should pin one installer door per OS and prove a PDF export after every lab reimage. Helpdesk tickets need the filename, the download host, and whether SmartScreen or Gatekeeper appeared before screenshots help.

Package-manager honesty matters: winget id AbhisekkumarShandilya.OpenResumeBuilder resolves, while brew, snap, and Flatpak were not found on the review date. Do not invent ids during class.
