Honest opinion? Unless you're super tech-savvy or have time to spare, look into community servers that fit your needs. Setting up your own server is cool and all, but it can be a rabbit hole of troubleshooting and maintenance.

Been running my own CS:GO server for a few years now. Best advice? Get a solid internet connection and make sure your PC specs can handle it. Then, follow a detailed guide for setting up via SteamCMD. It might seem daunting at first, but it's super rewarding when you're playing on a server you set up yourself. Also, be ready to update it frequently—Valve pushes updates more often than my grandma sends me birthday cards.

lol just rent a server, way easier. Less hassle, no need to keep your PC running 24/7.

First off, you're gonna need a decent PC cuz running a server can be a bit heavy on resources. Then, grab the SteamCMD tool from the Steam website; it's crucial for setting up your server. Install SteamCMD, open it up, and use commands to log in, set your dedicated server's install directory, and download the CS:GO server files. It's kinda like making a cake, but instead of eating it, you shoot stuff on it.
