The Documentation seems to be outdated for the getting started tutorials. Is there a place where I can find some really low level tutorials that are functioning?
Doh…
What exactly is outdated and what kind of tutorials? How to stake? How to develop pallets?
Ive been following the quickstart for Substrate https://docs.substrate.io/quick-start/start-a-node/
the github repo doesn’t exist anymore so I went searching for where it got moved to and in my search found a few other people talking about it being a bit broken
That sounds ambiguous, so I won’t even try to comment.
If you want to learn about running nodes (and/or a whole chain), use Zombienet which - as the name suggests - runs a zombie network (testnet with multiple “fake” nodes) and can be torn down and restarted at will.

For mainnet one can simply download and start the node without knowing much. --help provides a list of options and the documentation and Quickstart in the repo gives a quick example on how to run a node.
awesome thats helpful. thank you, Ill start there
