I used to Google for help, but the thing about Google is you have to know the correct technical terms, but when learning Linux, there are many unknown unknowns. And then you have to trawl through am the answers.
Now, any time I enter a command and get errors, or if I don’t understand something in the logs, I’ll copy paste it into perplexity.ai - if necessary, it’ll ask for clarification. But mostly, it’ll suggest various causes and solutions, with explanation.
Thank you @Doctor_Rex@lemmy.ml for asking these questions, and for everyone giving answers. I was trying to plan out my proxmox installation, and you’ve all pointed me in the right direction.
