Which means you just did four things to help the AI which the AI can’t do itself. That makes it a tool: useful in some applications, not useful in others, and constantly requiring a human to properly utilize it.

You don’t even need to use the command line in Mint. There are at least 3 decent gui package managers that I can think of if the top of my head.

Which is why I moved to Debian/Ubuntu based and haven’t looked back. But functionally, nearly every distro has a different strength and purpose, so go with whatever piques your interest.

I’m a recent convert from Mint Cinnamon to Kubuntu. I would definitely recommend it for being user friendly.

Seems fair. The seeds have been doing that to me for years.

You’re killing it, man! That is hard work.
