I always skipped this step because I'm still new to linux. I wanted to try out fedora today and tried following the checksum guide from their site, but I have no idea how to do it with terminal saying the file doesn't exist. The built-in iso verify tool also always tells me the verification failed. I get even more confused when methods on google seem different. If anyone can guide me through this once, I think I can get the hang of it.

am I going about linux wrong lol. keep gettng weird issues
I think it was different file location causes this No such file or directory thing.
Integrity check
To check the integrity of your local ISO file, generate its SHA256 sum and compare it with the sum present in sha256sum.txt.sha256sum yourfile.iso
once it calculates long number, compare that to the checksum number provided by where you got the file.
In your case, open that white icon text file named CHECKSUM, and compare the value to above step. If it matches, it's fine.
- be aware that you must change to the proper folder in command prompt first, before running the command. ie:
cd ~/Downloadsif that is where it is saved.
use ventoy for USB
Tip: with Ventoy USB, you can use the second boot -menu page to verify easily.
