    For me worked:

    • Install Debian
    • be confused by all the options in the installation process, look up every unknown word, try to do everything manualy, fail
    • start installation process again, choose all the defaults, works!
    • trying to install a programm with terminal, fail because not in sudo list, look up how to get into sudo list
    • update in terminal doesn’t work, have to remove some lines in /etc/apt/sources.list - look up how to use the text editor nano, look many yt-videos about Linux filesystem (what to those folders mean? Everything is a file?)
    • try to resize a partition (can’t remember which), can’t, because I didn’t choose LVM in installation process - install Debian again, and do all the steps above again

    I think I had to reinstall Debian 5 more times after that, just because I didn’t know what I was doing and it was an easy reset for me.

    Very frustraiting at times, and a very rewarding feeling when something worked. Made me love tech again, 10/10 would do again.
