The stereotypical story actually happened to me.

My parents had the habit of disabling the wifi if I didn't want to do chores.

So I looked up how to hack the neighbors' wifi. People online told me it wasn't possible, unless I installed "Kali Linux". I tried it and failed. I looked up why and people told me I should start with a beginner distro, lik Ubuntu. So I installed that.
