This is an area where AI can be helpful. Tell the AI what Linux distro your on and what you want to do. Most of the time it will give you pretty good answer. If you don’t understand what it is telling you to do, ask it to explain the thing in detail. Most important thing though is to always verify what it tells you before you run stuff. Google search specific commands or use the “man” command to get documentation. The key thing is the AI can make you aware of CLI commands and tools more easily then trying to find what you need on your own.
I’m not very familiar at all with Linux. I have used a few distros here and there where the majority of the work is done in a GUI. The CLI intimidates me, hahaha. I began exploring distros through WSL a little while back. I still haven’t “dove in” yet though.

Thanks! That is good advice and I will begin doing that to try to familiarize myself with the CLI.

There’s a GitHub repo called awesome self hosted. I would get the link but I’m mobile. It has a pretty exhaustive list of self hosted software with a link to their page. Might be worth loooking at

This seems to be an extremely valuable resource. I love the GitHub awesome lists, and I definitely started this one as a reference point!
