FWIW, just as a personal take..mmy usual answer to this conundrum is:
find something broken that's annoying you. (This is usually not too
hard! :>) Then try and fix it.

I usually find it's possible to find the bit that's broken (because the
exact nature of the error gives you clues) and work out enough to fix
that, without learning the whole system at once. But you get a hold of
a 'corner piece', so to speak. And then I usually wind up thinking
"well, hmm, if *that* bit is here, what does *that* bit over there
do?", or find something else that just looks possibly broken or weird,
and look into that, and keep going from there...
