I need to learn everything about computers very fast in six months.

You won't be able to learn *everything* about anything in a lifetime, forget in 6 months.

Install Arch. You'll learn everything about Linux which in turn teaches you everything about computers.

Max you need to learn everything about anything is about 10,000 hours or ten years.

In ten years computers will be anything but what they are today. You'll never stop playing catch up.

We still don't know everything about the universe and it's been way more than 10,000 hours or 10 years. :^)

Well you can't know an unknown unknown.

the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence

>learn html
>install gentoo
>????
>100k / year starting

Step by step then
>build a computer
Involves researching parts, terminology, compatability, the functions of firmware, chipsets, different architectures, etc
>install software
You will learn about what software does what, the differences between different OS families and their features, how file structure works across different platforms

Sounds dumb, but learning how to customize a desktop can teach you the basics of a light programming language or at least how to really dig into your choice of OS, wether that be messing with the core files of Windows to change your start button icon, or writing a big Lua sheet to weeb out your arch/i3 install
>break, repair, repeat
Purposely or accidentally fuck up your software, sudo rm -rf some shit, start raping your machine with malware, then try and bring it back to new again, it's a great bit of knowledge knowing how to fix common normie issues like ransomware
>set a goal, learn how to achieve it
Think of something you want to do, and learn whatever is needed to reach that goal. If you want a desktop clock written in Python, learn Python as you go, make a clock, then try something harder
