I have been trying Linux for a year now. I know my way around the system, but I still feel like I rely way too much on AI when I don't know what to do

There is a growing fear inside me that I will never truly know how to do stuff without asking AI, and that makes me feel like a fraud

Post on forums for your distro and internalise the help. Ask for guidance in trouble shooting or for people to explain how they know the answer to your questions.

Just don't open the slop bot.

I've been using linux for... 22 years. I have been a linux sysadmin. I still ask on the noob forums of archlinux whenever it comes to the graphical stack. Just chill
