I just want something as a proof of concept that this can be for me. I am aware I am the problem.

But everything is wildly difficult for me. I pulled back from docker after realising it was above my skillset, I just want to try home assisstant with a few lights but fair enough it is beyond me.

I opted to install a game, fail. Learn about wine and bottles. Start a bottle and get told I only have 8gb free in directory, I cannot for the life of me see where it is getting that from.

Please god someone tell me there is a step by step for the fucking imbeciles out there on where to start!?

I consider myself to be pretty okay at Linux - I'm no pro but I've been daily driving Linux for 10+ years, can troubleshoot most things, I've installed Arch from scratch without the installer script, I can setup and maintain NixOS without much trouble, I can automate stuff with Bash etc. But I still don't understand Docker even a little bit. I don't know why but I just can't get my head around it. I've even searched for the "Explain Docker to me as if I'm five years old" type of guides and I still just bounce of it.

    You are not on your own, I just can't get my head around docker either on paper it make sense but it seems just enough of a difference to melt something in my brain. Added to the fact that docker fucks around with firewall rules thinking it's the only thing of importance on the system, breaking KVM networking in the process. It's just not something I trust to play well with others.
