You can get as much information as you want depending on your willingness to search. I think most of the general information is already available on the forum, and you can just search for it using the search feature provided. I am sure you will need more time to be able to read a lot of information and follow many threads available. Some beginners may give up to continue browsing all the time on the forum. Some people get bored, but I hope you enjoy your time on the forum.
