I also had a similar experience my first LN wallet was LN bits and Zap and establishing channels and getting inbound liquidity was such a pain and documentation online wasn't great.

I've never heard of Blixit thanks for the tip, i've added it to our list of LN wallets

I also recommend new users to WOS instead and to use a LN exchange to swap in and out to their custodial wallet, it seems to be the easiest I have found so far for new peeps.
