"DIY" vs Non-"DIY" Mini splits
Anecdotally only, I know multiple people who have done the Mr. Cool DIY kits who have had issues ranging from minor to catastrophic. Some may have been installer error. Some were defective parts out of the box. Regardless, the parts are generally way more proprietary and often only available from the manufacturer.
I decided to go with the more commercial systems and just DIY'd 2 Daikin setups, one 3 ton/4 zone and one 5 ton/5 zone.
You will absolutely need certain somewhat specialized tools. I went as far as to get my EPA license to be able to purchase 410a from reliable channels. Overall the cost was still way less than what HVAC contractors are getting these days.
This is only anecdotal I know, but I am very happy with how the diakin systems have performed.

I've tried to do this but can't seem to find a clear and concise guide. From what I read, only admins can create communities?

It's absolutely more work to not just lurk, but it's way more fulfilling.

I'm so surprised at how it's taken off. I thought it was going to be a ghost town. Super exciting.

What are some of the best purchases of your life?
ProTeam ProForce 1500XP vacuum. It's an actual commercial grade vacuum. True HEPA filters. Very user serviceable, replaceable parts available. Costs about $500-600 but totally worth it.

It varies by state. Some US states have laws allowing consumers to choose their electric generation supplier, even if the distributor is still a monopoly.

Daikin is great, Mitsubishi has gotten so expensive recently and it seems Daikin is as good quality.

I have both DeWalt and Milwaukee. Mainly Milwaukee now.
Look up Torque Test Channel on YouTube, great independent test information.
Milwaukee is slightly above the rest for impacts, especially the bigger automotive ones, and their nailers.
But DeWalt also has some options that are slightly superior. Their battery grease gun is the best by far.

Agree a recovery pump was a big help. I already had a powerful vacuum pump, but I did buy a recovery pump, cylinder, gauges, and a scale.
You can still check for and find leaks with Better Bubble or similar leak detector.
These are also great to help prevent leaks if you don't have Nylog and a torque wrench/crowsfoots for the fittings. They're Teflon or similar. https://flareseal.com/
