From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I would suggest not using AI for answering your Linux questions, it provides a bunch of bad advice.
If no one teaches you, why would anyone expect you to know anything?
So it is ok to ask people questions but I do suggest finding a local Linux Users Group (or a local solarpunk group as they usually have a person or two who can help)
Reading wikis (like Arch or Gentoo) will help you solve your common problems and they also have forums where you can get great help as long as you are polite, kind and understand that they will ask clarifying questions and you should do the same but be respectful of them and their time
Noted, and appreciated thank you. Im not sure there is local groups to me but I might check in with some old college people see if any have tried.
Privately message me and I shall help you look.
