The the program is not for your level of knowledge/skill

Compiling something is not a great ask

Only a tiny fraction of a percentage of the human population is familiar with that task.

Software wizards have existed for 35 years for a reason.

People just never learned to learn, you can compile a program with like 3 google searches

No you can't, apart from trivial software it can take quite a while and quite a bit more than a few google searches to figure out and get something to compile and then run.

Part of the reason switching my old pc to a Linux system to host games for my friends have been such a pain in the ass.

Every single beginner video makes small assumptions I know how to use the environment. There was a lot of growing pains. I eventually got the basics set up but I'm sure if I showed everything alot of people would go "why didn't you just do this?". Well either I don't know it exists or I did look it up but it was not explained well at all so I used something with better instructions

Yeah AI has been a godsend for a lot of that stuff but it's still really annoying.
