Mention running bridge types ranked by difficulty

* To run any of them, it only requires small knowledge of Linux.
  this places the information required into the realm of possibility,
  even for unseasoned Linux users.

* Note: there are many guides on both Tor Project and Stack Overflow.

* Consider running either the 1st or 2nd options as they are the easiest.

Personally, if you need to use a Bridge (this is not necessary for a non-hostile environment), you should pick a Meek-Azure. Those will probably work even if you are in China and want to bypass the Great Firewall. It is probably the best option to obfuscate your Tor activities if needed and Microsoft servers are usually not blocked.
*Only available for Desktop Tor users: Recently, the Tor Project has made it incredibly simple to access Bridges with **Connection Assist**, and it is now automatically done in hostile or censored regions. Simply open the Tor Browser and the connection will be configured based on your needs on any hostile network. Previously, we had a list of options below this paragraph which were necessary to enable and configure bridges, but now that this is done automatically using [moat](https://support.torproject.org/glossary/moat/).* <sup>[[Archive.org]][1387]</sup>
