Learning about new things is the best thing about Linux. I keep a folder with screenshots and saved html pages for all the fixes, workarounds and settings I’ve accumulated over the two years I’ve used Linux on my desktop. Highly recommend keeping a similar folder.

Every time I fix something difficult I document it in great detail in Obsidian. It’s a good feeling of, ‘‘I’ll never have to be confused by this problem again’’.
I reference it constantly too, so it isn’t a waste of time. The waste of time would be not doing it.
