You are not an idiot. Idiots won't ask for help. I'm actually kind of new to Logic myself. I've watched a ton of Youtube videos on Logic. MusicTechHelpGuy is my favorite and he has a playlist that has dozens of videos starting from the very beginning steps. If you have the time, you'll learn a lot. But there's also just learning by doing.
I often create an empty track and then just explore what sounds are available. I'm using a 7 year old MacBook. that has a lot of fan noise just doing basic things. I'm waiting for m3 mac mini to finally move to the modern machines.
Happy music making!
