Beginner in need of real help!
I can resonate with feeling lost when first starting out with Linux. If you like learning from books, I can recommend the "Unix and Linux system adiministration handbook" by Evi Nemeth. It includes information and tips on all things Unix/Linux, including step by step tutorials on home to set up a media server etc.
Get used to Linux and keep persevering, you got this! :)
