Where to begin for complete newbies

I am completely new to this. Where does one like me begin? I will be reading the docs pages now, but I would like to hear some suggestions as well.

  • OS: debian 12 linux with backports enabled for a newer version of nvidia-driver package
  • GPU: nvidia rtx4070 8GB vRAM model (laptop one)
  • RAM: up to 64 GB
  • CPU: 14th gen intel i7 (laptop one)

My goals:

  • start generating at least 512x512 sized images

Following the docs pretty much works. Now the remaining work is actually using better models and getting sophisticated with the tool.

Pixaroma on Youtube has a really good tutorial series.
