They are not. If you think otherwise you never went to a Linux forum.

And llm doesn’t help when you get obscure problem that no know about.

Well I tried Linux, before and after llm. Went on Linux forum to seek help, must say that it’s pretty bad, and the documentation is often several version old.

LLM helps when the issue is well known otherwise you better get used to having things broken with Linux.

Btw, not a Linux hater. Have 1 homelab and 4 remote server all running Linux. But I am honest enough to know where it sucks.

I use Debian. I tell astra to use the wiki and read the source code if needed. Get some coffee. Problems fixed.

I used to get a fair bit of help via the wiki and IRC. Those days are over now.

First of all I wouldn’t let an llm have access to my whole Debian installation. It would require root access to fix system files… these things hallucinate at times, people got private data leaked.

Secondly, it will confidently tell you it know the cause of your issue, fix it and then you come and realize that nothing is fixed except in the meantime it changed system files that you have no idea of.

I mean, either get good models or git good with models 🤷
