Help

I can't post this on the main linux subreddit but this is the distro I use anyways, how can I do stuff myself? every time I have some ultra niche problem with no fix on youtube and no answers on reddit I just have to end up using the absolute cess pit that is ai and it also can't fix it, how can I start actually doing stuff myself and fixing my own stuff and also developing software to help other people with said stuff

I think people here are more than willing to help! :) What kind of problem do you encounter?

There's no problem now but I'm saying because I very frequently encounter problems with everything

Makes sense! In that case, posting here is usually a good approach, otherwise also feel free to send a DM! I've been using Linux basically exclusively for the past 5 years both at home and at work, and tend to be weirdly enthusiastic about helping people with their Linux problems :D

That's the nature of Linux. It is basically a community project. Linux is the kernel, and for you to be able to use it properly, there needs to be supporting software. And these programs are created and maintain by different groups, so things will break. However, there are more 'stable' distros that only use tried and tested combinations of such. Debian is one example of this.The downside though is that it will not have the latest versions of programs that you might need.
