Highly reccomend for anyone: even if you don't use arch or gentoo, go to their wikis first before talking to AI. They are a treasure trove once you learn what's specific to arch and what isn't.

Nix solves packages. It's not just an OS, it's a great package manager on any system! Packages have multiple versions with hashes and dependencies can be pinned so everything works every time. It's regrettable that it's so confusing to learn, but it is so worth it.

I'm glad to know that tenured engineers at FAANG companies also sat there hand-typing ChatGPT commands from another computer to work through Linux issues before lol. That was my whole experience when I first set up Fedora Linux using Asahi on an old MacBook as well haha.
