  • 2 things: Experience Repetition

    First of all, continue to look up how to fix things, there’s no problem with that. HOWEVER, make sure you understand what the commands you are entering do. Same thing applies to Windows as well, I’ve seen plenty of troubleshooting posts that and with “paste these 3 lines into power shell”

    The more you do this, you’ll get a feel for how everything is organized. You might not know HOW to fix your issue at this point, but you will at least know where to look for logs and where to find the config files relevant to your issue. Once you’ve fixed enough problems, you’ll start to be able to figure it out on your own. You can also help out with bug reports better now too.

    You also need to do this often enough that you remember these things. I’ve got a bunch of Linux installations (3 desktops, 1 laptop, 4 small servers) so I get plenty of practice changing things. When I only had the 1 computer running Linux, it was a lot harder to remember everything.
