Maybe a easier place to start is a beginner friendly system? Lots of people like running Unraid for example, and they have lots of apps that will make it easier to get into (ca.unraid.net), that might help ease them into it. Being thrown into a Linux terminal might feel daunting, but also a great way to learn.

I think many just need to get hooked on it, then they more naturally feel like they want to customize and try out stuff.

I dont have any guide recommendations, since its been a while since I started. You can probably do some searching on the stuff you want them to setup.

I’ll give a non-answer; if they dont spend the time setting it up themselves to understand it, they are kinda screwed.

There are TONS of videos out there, step-by-step guides, that should be enough honestly. I understand the appeal of LLM though to talk through stuff, but honestly, just give them a good guide. They can ask Googles AI if they need terms explained etc.

Just a different perspective.
