You must be looking in the wrong place. there is a very active Linxcnc forum and users really go out of their way to help newcomers. Linuxcnc is a large and versatile system developed over many years. The quality of the documentation once you know where it is (there is a link from the home page). Its certainly a lot simpler to install today then when I started 4 years ago.
There is a vast array of hardware and some of the complex retrofits done with it are amazing. Yes its complex but its worth taking the journey.
