    RTFM (Read the friendly manual). Theres the arch wiki that has pages on most any system component thats probably common across 90% of distributions. Theres project websites, YouTube videos, other wikis like the Debian wiki or Gentoo wiki. Theres peoples blogposts where they talk about cool things they did.

    For example:

    Try looking for holistic sources of information basically rather than sifting through aggregators like LLMs or page rankings (which take you to listicles generated by LLMs).

    Also post on c/libre if you have any software related questions (which should I use, etc).
