I’m sure this will draw some criticism but I’ve found duck.ai to be extremely helpful in troubleshooting minor issues with my Linux mint installation and recently with accessing and understanding SMART hard drive diagnostic data. It’s very helpful in figuring out which commands could be useful in the terminal and in understanding exactly what each terminal command is doing. Of course finding answers in forums and manuals is still relevant and important but as a beginner, this has been a fast and easy way to get advice.

That makes sense. It cuts through the RTFM bullshit, and gets you a clear answer without unnecessary ego.
Good point. I don’t know why I didn’t think about this sooner, i literally use it for other programming stuff.
