Did the same. I pretty much had to redo every single step, sometimes multiple times, because I did not fully understand what I was doing. But I had a running system in the end with everything working as far as I could tell.

Then I immediately formatted everything and installed Endeavor, because I just didn’t trust myself not having done anything wrong.

It did help with understanding though. Some things aren’t as scary anymore and I understand the arch wiki much better now.
