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

It really depends on what you want to do. Forum posts can be really useful. Also remember that most cli programs have man pages which are often excellent documentation. A lot of graphical applications also include documentation. Depending on your distro, you may be able to find documentation in /usr/doc.
