how do the rest of you remodel flooring?
Two guides say completely different things about how to remodel flooring. I've got basic tools, nothing specialist. How do you do it? Any help appreciated.

Most of the work is under the new floor, not the floor itself.
Rough order: pick the flooring, pull up the old stuff, then check the subfloor is flat, dry and not squeaking. Fix the squeaks with screws into the joists now, it's impossible later. Click together LVP or laminate is the most beginner friendly. Tile and nail down hardwood have a steeper learning curve.
If it's wood or laminate let the boxes sit in the room for a couple of days first, and buy about 10% extra for cuts and mistakes. What room are you doing?
