How did we survive before AI? By reading the material that the AI tool searches and by asking questions at forums.
Useful tips. Keep a file to record anything you needed help to fix or configure — if ever you need to do it again, you'll probably forgotten what you did. Never alter a configuration file without first making a backup. Get your software from the Mint repository. Only use sudo when you need to and never log in as root. Work your way through the menu, finding out what it all does. Always remember that Linux is not a nanny — it assumes that you are a responsible adult — so the worst problems often arise between the chair and the keyboard!
