I just want something as a proof of concept that this can be for me. I am aware I am the problem.

But everything is wildly difficult for me. I pulled back from docker after realising it was above my skillset, I just want to try home assisstant with a few lights but fair enough it is beyond me.

I opted to install a game, fail. Learn about wine and bottles. Start a bottle and get told I only have 8gb free in directory, I cannot for the life of me see where it is getting that from.

Please god someone tell me there is a step by step for the fucking imbeciles out there on where to start!?

    Docker won’t make much sense if you don’t understand the underlying Linux systems and/or applications.

    It’s similar with Wine and Bottles. If you don’t get what’s in the bottle, then running the bottle won’t make sense.

    Find tasks that run on the native OS. learn to manage Linux itself. skip containers, Snap, virtual machines, etc.

    try running a web server using httpd or something.
