Summary for ST Beginners WIP

Hello everyone. This is a brief summary of the most frequently asked questions I receive. I will try to provide concise answers and summaries for all topics. I'm not an expert, LLM is just a hobby in my free time. It's only my way to set up things, feel free to skip chapters. I will not turn myself in to support on call, if something isn't working - try to google it yourself or go to ST-discord support channels to cry about it. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong somewhere with proper arguments.
