Been trying to use Arch Linux but have been having a lot of issues.
So I began using arch linux a while ago, yet I haven't really been able to learn it very well. Everything is so confusing and overwhelming that it makes me nauseous just trying to solve issues that pop up when trying to get a piece of software to work. I've spent many, many hours trying to get Davinci Resolve to work, only to give up because it was more trouble than it was worth.
To be completely clear, I am not a computer person. I simply enjoy them as a means to an end to do what I want. Fixing shit on linux annoys me, but dealing with windows makes me wanna do very bad things to the fucks at microsoft.
So I was wondering if there's a decent way to learn how to use arch linux, since currently I know absolutely nothing and I am currently working with the vibecoded shit I did just to have a usable computer. Any help would be appreciated.
Also, please don't be snarky. I've tried talking to tech people about stuff and they've been assholes every single time, and it feels so alienating. Sorry. I just want to learn how to use my machine well. I am willing to put in the time, I just don't know where to go.
Thank you.
