I've been using Linux a long time (since 2007). There's a few things I know a fair bit about, and that came from hours of problem solving, reading forums, chatting on IRC and xmpp, etc. There's value in that process, but goddam, so many times I just wanted answers. Like an expert friend to always show me the answer. AI is pretty much that, with some caveats. Try to go slow and understand what it's telling you. Ask it to explain. Create documentation notes as you go.
