You don’t need an LLM to setup Linux, it is as easy, possibly even easier than setting up Windows 11.
While LLMs can provide some help in troubleshooting, they can be just as wrong. If you think they can’t be, quite frequently actually, you are living a dangerous life.
I was gonna say what do you need an AI to use a 3 button graphical user interface for? Almost every distro besides Arch has figured out the ux for os install.
It’s handy when your video card drivers update in the background and then stop working. Then you get to learn fun commands like nvidia-smi to try and figure out what the hell is going on.
Linux is good, but there is still a pretty heavy need to get around on the command line. While I’m no fan of Windows anymore, at least you can point and click your way through a fair amount of stuff natively. Having a built-in Device Manager clone would be handy.
Also, setting up a multi-function printer/copier/scanner can be pretty ugly. Yeah only old people print, but they are still around. Tinkering with brsaneconfig4 to set up a scanner is a handful.
For most laptop users who don’t do much with peripherals and hardware, you’re pretty good. If you connect anything kinda odd, you’re going to have to work for it.
I use an online platform to connect to my car for diagnostics and the USB to OBDII cable requires specific drivers. I am thankful that the manufacturer did supply them, but I’ve had a few devices like that where it was just a dead end.

As an old DOS guy I really like the use of the command line. And you young whipper snappers should get to know it.
