    Lemme tell you… I’d love to use your knowledge, and have gotten some great tips on other posts and forums. But if the answer to one more of my questions starts with “you just need to …” and then has an extremely vague answer, I’ma pull the rest of my hair out.

    That said, I’m building a PC right now that will be Linux based because fuck Windows and fuck Microsoft. Sincerely, a burnt out IT dude tired of hearing what fresh hell patch Tuesday brought.

        It happens soooo often it can be really frustrating. But to be fair I think the folks that hang around that sort of tech site or even here are so far ahead of me with Linux it probably feels like talking to a 5 year old in order to “dumb it down” for me. I’m still determined to learn though, dammit!

          That may be kinda true, I actually regret not annotating what I learned along the way because I would like to be able to explain to others in the way I would have liked to get that information taught to me when I didn’t know things, teaching/informing is difficult to get right because you often don’t know the knowledge gap between you and the listener.

          Good on you for sticking with it! When I started I made my fair share of silly mistakes, still do honestly, I think we are all 5 year olds at heart anyway :P

            Fair point. I’ve been using Obsidian to keep track of what I’ve learned so far. My memory for this sort of thing is pretty bad. Also to keep track of docker compose yamls I have in use now in case I need to rebuild something. There are similar open source apps out there like Logseq and Joplin, but Obsidian clicked for me the most.

              Thanks for the suggestions, already heard about them, maybe I should actually go in and try, however these days I’ve been using physical notebooks for random journaling, it’s kind of stress relieving
