I was 100% in the same boat as you, but it's worked out awesomely so far. For me the biggest thing was that every time I was completely stumped by something randomly not working even though I was following internet instructions pretty closely....it was a freaking permissions problem. Random shit with no clear error message, just shit not working.
Dive computer plugged in and turned on, but not connecting? It says "timed out" but what it really meant was"this program doesn't have dialout privileges, so even though it looks like we're trying, we're actually not letting anything go through until you add it to the right group"
Plex library showing empty even though you just spent hours transferring stuff over? Plexmediaserver isn't being dumb, it's just its own user, and even though YOU have access to the library folder and can point Plex there, that doesn't mean Plex can see anything in there.
I could go on but you get the point.
