They really don’t though, which is often the problem. How do I solve this weird esoteric problem, let me either dig through mountains of posts which are only tangentially related, or ask my local LLM to do it for me, implement a fix and move forward with it. Would I rely on it for production? Hell no. Would I do it rather then spending hours trying to find an answer? Absolutely. For things like that, it’s like moving from chipping letters in stone to typing on a computer. They both get the job done, but one is certainly a better use of time.
AI is really fast at searching forums though, can usually dig up posts better than I can. Doesn’t help that AI slop has filled the internet making manual search harder
I’m sure your Linux distro has an associated forum that can help answer your questions better than a robot can

Bazzite, I needed to do some ssh thingy. Also I had crashes for a while I tried to pinpoint
