Describe your suggestion

Installing Yarn was very confusing. It wasn't difficult, but on the website you are linking (https://classic.yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install#windows-stable) is a reference telling that this version of Yarn is in maintenance mode since 6 years ago.
I didn't know if I really was supposed to install Yarn 1.22.22 or if this maybe was mistake you had overlooked.

After rereading everything a couple of times I saw that you mention "Yarn Classic" as the version we are meant to install. But it was easy to overlook and not 100% clear. I also wish there was a little bit of context (why the classic version and not the new one).

The section about yarn also tells something about import maps being provided in Rails 7. Since the current version is Rails 8 this added to my suspicions that the article might not be up to date.

so i did a bit of digging and found that the plan was to update from yarn classic to modern when the TOP main site does.

• Installing Rails: Update Instructions for Installing Yarn on Ubuntu #28022 (comment)

and the version of yarn was already bumped in main site 2y ago - TheOdinProject/theodinproject@c27963e

so i guess we should be updating the version

but let's wait for a maintainer to review this issue first.

I'd be interested in working on this once a maintainer has reviewed
