Guess I know who to ask next time I have a question on any of these!
I'm often reluctant to refer to any body of knowledge I happen to be host to as "expertise."
The one thing I'd comfortably call myself an expert on is myself and my way of life.
This may sound silly to draw attention to, but I think it is something we need to pay more attention to than we often do, especially on a religious forum. Religion is inherently personal and deeply bound up with a person's way of life. A quick way to get me to disengage is making presumptuous comments about my personal affairs, like telling me what I feel or think and telling me how my religion works. You are the expert authority on you, and if that isn't respected in a discussion it'll go nowhere fast.

My life has reflected the aphorism, "Jack of all trades, master of none".

This is going to let the AuADHD shine but here goes:
I have over a decade of professional experience in PT and massage therapy.
I also have a degree in web design and multimedia, and have used programs like photoshop and clip studio paint since they existed. I have some workable knowledge of using 3d programs like blender, zbrush, keyshot.
I do some ink illustration and acrylic painting, but not with the experience or quality of my digital art.
I also have a decade of experience working with a reptile rescue and education facility that does school, museum and fair exhibits across the West Coast. I've worked with hundreds of snakes, lizards, tortoises, gators, etc.
I also grew up on a subsistence farm and am intimately familiar with the type of work and organization it takes to do 'micro' farming (five acres for us.) From farm tax status to picking flora and fauna that is climate zone appropriate to the in and outs of animal husbandry and master gardening.
At the same time we did farming, my parents were very pro technology and we had state of the art computers and entertainment machines at home. I've been a gamer (both electronic and tabletop RPGs) since I was a kid, too. I've got very broad ranges of experience in both, across many genres of games.
I...think thats it?

Where would you recommend one start to learn about subsistence farming if they have no agricultural experience or know-how whatsoever?

If we ignore my posts on RF to avoid controversy, Unix/linux system administration. That is the result of decades of working with, fighting with, that operating system in various situations over those years.
Do you mind if I ask what distro you prefer for personal use? I'm really expecting you to say Arch, lol.
I'm mostly familiar with Kali, since I'm currently training for pentesting, but I've used Ubuntu and Debian off and on. I have a few certs, but I'm nowhere near a sysadmin. I only know a few basic commands and the necessities of bash scripting
Do you have any thoughts on "Linux from Scratch?"
I'd start by looking to see if there's any master gardening classes. They have them everywhere here, even some churches with community gardens. They're often free or very little charge. Might find some backyard farm clubs too, and get chatty with farmers at things like fairgrounds and 4H meets.
It's important to learn about techniques, plants and pests that are specific to your region. As well as what the soil health looks like.

No religious beliefs
Nothing.
I only remember things that interest me and that only until I run out of interest.
That makes me someone that that knows a little about a lot of things, unlike an "expert" that knows more and more about less and less until eventually he knows everything about nothing.

I've never really been an expert at anything. I have been competent in some things not so common - such as mountaineering and caving, along with dinghy sailing and yachting, plus long-distance cycle touring. As a youth I managed to modify and look after one particular car - when things were a lot simpler - and so as to take it touring in France and Spain with two friends. Not bad considering it only cost me £1 - after trading an old car in for scrap. I was pretty much expert at climbing all over heaps of cars in scrapyards to find necessary parts during this time.

I hope it turns out well, but in general, I'm very sceptical about stuff like this, they somehow always tend to not really catch the original humour or what made it good, to begin with.
I agree.

I sell them... But yeah I have clothes made out of them. Braintan pants practically last forever.
Zilch. Of course I know more about some topics than others, but there is almost always somebody somewhere that knows a lot more than I do about everything other than personal matters. I have no expertise.
I use Ubuntu. I have never gotten into the tiny details of why one is better than another. My background from Unix V7, BSD, Solaris and others in various work situations along with sh, ksh, bash, csh conditioned me to just rely on the tools they all support.
