From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Install everything from store, and you should be fine. If you see a tutorial being too complicated, it is probably not worth following. Set your search engine to past year and see if there are better tutorials.
You might also want to consider atomic distros, they are much harder to mess up, and much easier to restore.
No I'm doing it to learn self hosting, I'm doing the hard stuff on purpose
Oh! in that case may I suggest yachts with docker containers? https://yacht.sh/
Everything on my homeserver is directly installed on the server, keeping them up-to-date is pretty annoying, and permission control is completely non-existent.
Since want to do things the hard way, I believe this can also be a good opportunity to do things in the "better" way (at least IMO).
Ah now that does look promising, I had settled on portainer but this yacht program looks very noob friendly! I'll install it today and check it out! Cheers!
Portainer are great too! But yacht seems to be specifically designed for self-hosting.
