To be fair, it’s mainly just some basic shell knowledge and stuff that you can learn by following the links on the guide (as well as the all important man pages) so if you want to give it another shot then don’t feel discouraged. That said, it’s actually completely normal to want a system that doesn’t require you to do your own research.

An alternative, if you want something that more thoroughly walks you through all the steps and is designed to actually teach you how it all works is to use linux from scratch and then install dpkg and apt, but beware that, while lfs is designed to actually teach you how everything works instead of just assuming you know everything, building your entire system from source is way more work
