I went to Linux because it was free and available. I used Linux Mint 22.1 Ubuntu and I didn't find it easy.

I think it would be helpful to have a central resource with docs and forums tied in to an AI, so you could type in the problem and get an answer without having to resort to search engines - which are getting worse and worse.

Search engines are getting worse, in large part because of AI...

I agree that AI is ruining search engines (although they were already very bad because they were tweaked for people who paid to be first in results), but they actually can be useful in a situation like this, restricted to a very narrow data set to learn.

Idk, I think a simple keyword search for a documentation wiki is fine. No need to over-engineer the problem.
