All my comments are in #1361 as I don't like this PR :-)

I saw your comments. We can agree to disagree but I see the need of this change. This PR doesn't create new information, just points more clearly the user to the relevant information which we host elsewhere.

For instance, to find the docker information from the README it is currently 2 clicks if you get it right, but possibly is going back and forth a couple more.

Also it is not clear even if you make it to the right page for Docker: there are 4 links one has to choose: one to wikipedia about docker (do we need that?), one to a video and slides from David (probably outdated information looks like 2021), and finally the link one wants (not very prominent).

Call me lazy, but when I go to a GitHub repo I like to see how to install the software.
