I use Manjaro Linux with the Cinnamon desktop and sometimes run into system-level issues, but I have no idea how to properly debug them. It doesn’t feel as straightforward as debugging a normal program. What’s the best way or resource to learn system debugging on Linux?

If there's one thing AI is good at is trawling though a hell scape of random data from across time and space. And outputting... Something reasonably close.

Least close enough to actually put you in the right path 9 times out of 10. Even if the ai is wrong, it's still vastly more time effective then going to stack overflow for this was solved with no solution present.

Hell I had a issue trying to find documentation for a old game I was modding from 10 years ago that maybe sold 1000 copies the wiki was dead the devs site was dead and the way back machine didn't have the pages I needed.

Some fucking how chat gpt knew the game, was able to identify it correctly from a script I gave it then spat out the exact correct context and documentation I needed.

It was flabbergasting. Cause at the same time it told me the game came out in 1995 when it came out in 2015... It got basic ass info wrong but the technical details right.

I was so fucking confused how it managed that.

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.
