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.

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