Don't forget the situations where you find a good blog post or article that you can actually follow along until halfway through you get an error that the documentation doesn't address. So you do some research and find out that they updated the commands for one of the dependency apps, so you try to piece together the updated documents with the original post, until something else breaks and you just end up giving up out of frustration.

That sounds an awful lot like modifying an ESP32 script I've been trying to follow from a YouTube tutorial published a while back. Research hasn't uncovered anything for me to troubleshoot the issue so it's a really shit experience.

Pre-systemd tutorials 💀

That shouldn't be too bad if you understand systemd though, right? Or is there something weird i'm missing? Do you have an example guide that illustrates the problem?
