  • Maybe a easier place to start is a beginner friendly system? Lots of people like running Unraid for example, and they have lots of apps that will make it easier to get into (https://ca.unraid.net/), that might help ease them into it. Being thrown into a Linux terminal might feel daunting, but also a great way to learn.

    I think many just need to get hooked on it, then they more naturally feel like they want to customize and try out stuff.

    I dont have any guide recommendations, since its been a while since I started. You can probably do some searching on the stuff you want them to setup.


  • I’ll give a non-answer; if they dont spend the time setting it up themselves to understand it, they are kinda screwed.

    There are TONS of videos out there, step-by-step guides, that should be enough honestly. I understand the appeal of LLM though to talk through stuff, but honestly, just give them a good guide. They can ask Googles AI if they need terms explained etc.

    Just a different perspective.
