I think that "Before seeking technical support, please use these
resources" remains an awkward phrase.  The intent is to have the user
attempt to help themself before resorting to flailing and asking for help
on the internet, but not all of the listed resources are relevant for any
particular situation, and in some sense they *are* providing technical
support.

We may just want to note that "The following resources are available to
learn about the system", or something of a similar phrasing.

The other changes seem okay.
