I must be missing something. I’ve been trying for too long to figure out how to get a language server in emacs, specifically for python, but at this point I’d be happy to see anything work. I am so fucking sick of following written online tutorials that never work but I need to use something other than vs code, so the “trying to get emacs to fucking work” effort will continue.
I gave up on regular emacs because there seems to be no way to install lsp-mode on it. doomemacs seems to be a more refined easy-to-use version and has a working package manager so I started using that. I finally did manage to get lsp-mode installed in doomemacs but that’s just the first step of what is a convoluted multi-step process and I don’t know what to do next.
Can someone link me to a definitive, actually working, actually correct video tutorial of how to get a language server on doomemacs?

I think your problem is that you installed the Emacs “plugin”, but that is just the interface to the server. I think you need to install the actual language server on your system. Outside of Emacs, in your package manager or with pipx for example.
You can also try to press Spc-: and then run lsp-install-server inside of doom Emacs, but I had problems with that.
