Just say no if you don't want to do something. I don't understand why people think fucking shit up in the guise of helping is more acceptable than admitting that you can't (or maybe just don't want to) do something.

Do you think that, in this example, using certbot is fucking shit up, or breaking something?

The thing about overkill is that it does work. If you're accustomed to using a solution in a professional setting, it's probably both overkill and also vastly more familiar than the bare minimum required for a class project that would be entirely unacceptable in a professional setting.

In OPs anecdote, they did get their certificates, so I don't quite see your "intentionally fucking things up" claim as what's happening.

To me, (and it seems for OP as well), installing snap on RHEL in itself is fucking things up.
