I don't think using AI as a replacement for Stackoverflow counts as vibe coding.
Linux is tough. Stackoverflow was shitty and hostile.
Don't beat yourself up about it.
To add to this, if you're using an LLM that cites its sources, read the cited section (and ideally a bit before and after it). You'll end up learning things gradually and having progressively fewer questions to ask the LLM.
And definitely read and try to understand any code or commands that it tells you to run. You never know when it'll hallucinate something potentially destructive.
