I faced this problem numerous times. This is mostly a problem with parsing the text.

Most often the solution is to translate the text into how other people think through a problem and replicate their mental model of the world in your head. This sounds tough but when you read, you should pay attention at various levels: Phrases -> Sentences -> Paragraph. Construct the mental model as numerous Cause->Effect relations. Identify other types of relations that the author wants to convey.

Often also change the way you parse the text. What I described above is Bottom-Up approach where you construct the big picture from smaller pieces. The other way would be to start Top-Down, construct a big picture view by reading only the start and end of a specific paragraph/technique, understand the transformation that is happening to code/data/control flow, then move on to the next big chunk. Eventually you will get the general idea. Then you can drill down on specific paragraphs/ideas and focus on the details.

Regarding Python itself, The sentence "reinstall it and use the pure python version, it's the only way you'll learn it properly" is assuming that one would easily figure out one among the the numerous ways of installing a python environment. It's not an easy thing to do given that you as a beginner won't understand all the nuances of what each method achieves.

Easiest way to proceed is to pick one way to setup your python environment and be done with it.

Tl; Dr

I am on Linux, so my personal stack is:

1. pyenv -> a. curl -fsSL https://pyenv.run/ | bash b. ~/.pyenv/bin/pyenv init --install

2. Install a python version -> a. pyenv install 3.14

3. Create my workspace and set the python version to the one I installed: a. mkdir workspace b. cd workspace c. pyenv local 3.14

4. Create a venv so I have a local python virtual environment: a. python3 -m venv .venv b. source .venv/bin/activate

5. Start working on my project/code.

(Note for others: I don't recommend uv here as I don't use it myself and haven't tried to properly use it for an extended duration of time)

On Windows, use python install manager + Venv.

This is a good tutorial:

Edit: I forgot to mention that the python docs are an excellent starting point for learning python in general: https://docs.python.org/3/

First of all, the premise that this "open-source" project is innovative or there's something other than Archlinux + Dotfiles + Bundled software in the ISO is flawed. There's hardly anything inside the OS that other projects cannot achieve or haven't. If you want to call something innovative, Nix and NixOS fit the bill perfectly, CachyOS also fits the description. Omarchy doesn't. It's like saying Endeavour OS is doing something innovative.

When someone who is not intent on supporting bigots looks at EndeavourOS and Omarchy, They will choose EndeavourOS 100% of the time.

Success for you might be to get a million dollars and not question the origins of said money or the motives. Other people may have stricter standards for success than that.

This project has received money because it has drawn people to linux. I can still appreciate open-source code even if it’s written by an ass hat.

1. This project has received money because a bunch of rich CEOs are friends with DHH.
2. These people like what DHH holds as his ideology and promote similar rightwing xenophobic ideas.
3. The project itself isn't innovating in the space. The likes of NixOS come to mind when you think what's new in the field.
4. Omarchy is a bundle of software and AI. The image is 6 GB because it's Arch + dotfiles + software.

I feel like using ai is like using drugs, they’re bad, but regulating them is muuuuuuuch better than just prohibiting, people will use it anyways.

crime won't happen because it is illegal?

With how it's going, Will systemd also eventually be able to occasionally remind my Asian ass that I am a failure?

I played an RPG video game the other day with tricky AI companions and foes. This guy sounds like an NPC to be honest.

Doesn't mean you're not an asshole if you are pro-slavery

This is out of touch and quite inaccurate at the same time

Their religion is pathetic if it can be flattened by two dudes kissing or a girl having shlong.

Europe's problems are the world's problems but the world's problems are never Europe's problems.

Maybe when you say "Islamic Terrorist Supporters" I am hoping you are not considering all 30k+ dead civilians as Hamas? Remember... don't lose your humanity in your dogmatic defence of Israel.

If you think anyone can 100% guarantee shit won't break, I have a bridge to sell you.
