@Brief-Wishbone9091 :-
Believe it or not, folks here ARE trying to help you.......even if you can't see it that way.
Obviously, you must have SOME interest in computing to go into the type of job you have. But the responses here ARE correct; in your position, you're the one who's supposed to be providing support & solutions to
others. It kind of goes without saying that figuring out the answers to problems & issues is "your bag".
Admitting you don't know it all isn't a crime. Colleagues will look more favourably upon you IF you can demonstrate that you have at least
some idea of how to troubleshoot things.......and like all others, it's a skill that only comes with practice, because there's a learning-curve to everything in this life.

I've never wanted to do this kinda stuff for a job; although I've been messing around with these things, on and off, for the best part of 45 years, to me it's only ever been a hobby. But the same principles apply at the end of the day.
I'm one of those individuals that's always been used to being "self-sufficient". I would far sooner try things out for myself & figure out solutions to my own problems. I only ever ask for help as a last resort because, as others have pointed out, the research resources available to anyone nowadays are astronomical in scale compared to what was around, say, 40 years ago.
Your work is no different to anyone learning Linux for the first time. To use
@KGIII 's oft-quoted aphorism, t's called "learning by breaking". Ok, so you try something for the first time, and it goes pear-shaped. Do you give up at the first hurdle? Of course you don't; you set things up again, and try something else. Experimentation, and trying things out for yourself - and most importantly,
learning from your mistakes - is the key factor here.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ultimately, remember this. While there are always technically "nicer" ways of achieving many outcomes in Linux, there IS no hard-and-fast, right or wrong way of attaining your goal. There are literally 100s of ways of doing the same thing, and of getting the desired outcome; only experience will tell you, after a time, what works best & most effectively for any given scenario.
I agree whole-heartedly with others; blindly following step-by-step instructions is not the way to learn, because you never get to properly understand the mechanisms behind what you're doing. Having faith in your own abilities, and the confidence to experiment without worrying about the outcome, will stand you in good stead in the years to come.
