Drop the self-destructive overreacting bullshit and actually try to research the advice you've already been given. Degrading yourself this way helps absolutely nobody, so knock it the fuck off and start listening.
This phrase is pointless. Be more specific; this is part of the troubleshooting process. What exactly isn't working? What have you tried? Are you just mashing the keyboard and expecting ✨something✨ to happen?
If you are going to change your entire operating system, you need to be prepared to troubleshoot things that you aren't familiar with, and that requires patience. Slow the fuck down and start googling things you're not familiar with. Actually participate in the process by asking follow-up questions, instead of repeatedly bashing yourself over the head just because you accidentally mistyped a command. Rome wasn't conquered in a day, and you're not going to fix this in 5 minutes by bashing your head into the keyboard over and over again.
"Getting smarter" means breaking your current understanding of certain things in order to relearn new things about whatever it is you're trying to do. Your current understanding of how a computer works is broken, and now you're being given a huge opportunity to relearn. Knowledge doesn't just pop into your head. Knowledge is gained by putting in effort despite the frustrations you run into.
