Dotnet is ultra simple and a big advantage of F#. You do need to learn what a solution is: it's a group of projects with dependencies between the projects. Download an IDE, create a new project (which will also create a solution), and go to Nuget in the IDE if you need to install packages. You don't need to know what an assembly is.

Some devs like to do things the hard way with a very manual approach, including working with command lines and using paket, and that does give some confusions in the docs since there isn't a clear default path.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I definitely think dotnet is an advantage for F#, but when I learned F#, a lot of beginner resources didn't teach you how it dotnet works. I think it got easier from .NET Core 3 onwards tho.

I think it gives a (unfair) stigma to an otherwise really nice language
