Get used to it, this is the way it will always be. For some reason, Linux users seem to be incredibly lazy, or really bad at communicating instructions. Sure, not all the time, just most of the time. I suggest that you make a Debian VM, and start learning . . . Also while you're at it, you *DO* need to learn git. git is far more useful than you seem to realize. Start using goolge, and go to town. Remember, *you* are the one who needs to learn these things. So it is your own responsibility to learn / figure out various things. It will get easier / better with time and experience.
