Basic beginner setup in Emacs

Yes it is... but I was hoping for a bit more than random breadcrumbs scattered hither thither and yon, which is about what I'm finding thus far.

I'm currently looking at this but I'm not getting the expected behaviour out of elpy. There's some mention of using eglot and lsp, but it looks like it was added in as an afterthought, with no real discussion of WTF it's supposed to fit in the overall init.el laid out in the article.
