apt distro instructions are unclear.

[jamesbt365]

Depending on if the distro has dotnet packaged within its own repos can cause problems with dotnet leading to conflicts that cause dotnet to not function at all. The current installation instructions don't list that you should use the Distros dotnet packages if they are available instead of installing the microsoft repo and getting it through there.

There could be a better solution, but currently a lot of users are forced to manually intervene because the current instructions can result in broken dotnet installs. See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/linux-package-mixup#solutions.
