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!?
Nothing in Linux is above your skill level, you just have not found the community speaking your way of seeing it yet.
You are not the problem; the problem always is community finding is a hard unsolved problem in the Linux space.
Implicit details embedded in code can easily produce your frustration. But as I don’t know what your goals are and what you feel comfortable with, it will be hard to help
This is a lovely thought, I hope you are right. To be fair I use a lot of my stupid questions on AI because its quick and basic like what commands and what responses mean. Doesnt help build a community, but I cant be annoying people with issues constantly either. Only when I am about to lose my mind apparently.
I would suggest not using AI for answering your Linux questions, it provides a bunch of bad advice.
If no one teaches you, why would anyone expect you to know anything?
So it is ok to ask people questions but I do suggest finding a local Linux Users Group (or a local solarpunk group as they usually have a person or two who can help)
Reading wikis (like Arch or Gentoo) will help you solve your common problems and they also have forums where you can get great help as long as you are polite, kind and understand that they will ask clarifying questions and you should do the same but be respectful of them and their time
