Comment on Finally escaping Windows, ironically thanks to AI

Got a buddy that has essentially the same story as you… he’s now running Linux as a primary and jellyfin + like 10 other containers in docker.
This time last year he was a Windows guy because he was scared of Linux.
Fast forward to ai being a thing and he’s all about it.
Ai has absolutely made it easier for folks to transition into Linux.
Hell I’ve been on it for like 20 years at this point and I still run into stuff I’ve not seen before. So I use it when ever I need to do so.
Handy.

AI is good at RAG tasks. When you’re asking it questions about text that is in the context window, the hallucination rate is significantly lower.
It can fill that gap between documentation and implementation that isn’t always obvious to someone who is new and answer question that they may not be able to form into a search string. The kind of simple questions that, in some Linux communities, would invite assholes (like ‘how do you set permissions’ or ‘I want to add my user to a group’) to tell them to RTFM. Now TFM can answer their questions directly.
