There is a lot of autism surrounding linux, but pi-hole is pretty easy to set up. You probably found one of those guides that required you to use docker, which is a retarded thing to do on a machine that is dedicated to a single task. This is what you need to do to get pi-hole up and running.

Buy raspberry pi and SD card
Install Raspberry Pi OS using their imager
put SD card in Pi
hook raspberry pi up to monitor and keyboard
login with default username and password
type the following commands: sudo apt update && upgrade
curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash
Follow the installation prompts
point your router's DNS to the raspberry PI's IP
(optional) enable ssh so you don't have to hook up a monitor and keyboard every time you want to update

Hell yeah, look at that. Yeah it was a couple years ago but for sure whatever I found was way more complicated and was talking about all these custom configs and needing to download weird shit from weird websites and then acting like it was all common knowledge. Thanks man, seriously.
