Can you copyright common knowledge?

It helps when you know how a computer boots

I learnt it over the years with gnu linux, especially suse, redhand and gentoo. I did not bother much with windows 11. Windows 10 was kinda similar regarding booting also. (well the hardware is the same - so all uefi knowledge - bootloader yes / no and so on .. all applies - regardless if its gentoo from teh gentoo handbook or windows 10 laptops which i was forced to fix weird boot issues)

You can copyright a specific presentation of it. Geographic maps, for example. Or this one (made by 5W Infographics for National Geographic):
