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.

Yeah, I wouldn't recommend this option. Maybe for some basic question, but don't follow its directions for anything technical and absolutely don't enter any commands it gives you unless you know what they do. It makes stuff up all the time. It'll sound confident, but if you're a new user you don't know enough to know what it's telling you to do.
For that matter, don't enter any commands you see online without looking at it first. You can't trust everyone.
“don't enter any commands you see online without looking at it first. You can't trust everyone”
This has somewhat become a staple idea of mine. People trust others online way too easily. Ai isn't all that different in this but its more obvious to us that there is something to be scared about the uncanny valley.
What it tends to come down to is capacity for personal critical thinking which we should aim to foster more in future generations.
Maybe i assume too much that programmer-minded people naturally come with such skills for troubleshooting and will be capable of responsible ai interactions?
