    I recently changed and could only do it because of ChatGPT. There are a lot of things that work different in Linux, like package managers, the file system in general, the focus on terminal, stuff that works different with different distros. For almost all questions, ChatGPT helped me within seconds. This is even more true, when I kinda don’t know, what my question actually is. Then it helps to give me some good buzzwords to Google for. If I would have done this with just reddit and forums and stack or something, I’d get so much non-helping, gatekeeping, belittling answers - if any.

      It’s incredibly powerful when used like this. The real time nature of it is super nice. If you have a quick question, you almost can’t beat it.

      Another thing it is great for us explaining what commands do. So if you are following a tutorial or blog and want to double check that a command is safe, it’s great at that.
