    Actually to find a good distro and instructions on how to install them i recommend using an ai chatbot.

    Majority of people have never created a bootable media but its easy enough ai can guide them step by step.

      Eh, just look up a reputable YouTube channel and guide. Chatbots can randomly make dumb mistakes that a total newbie won’t recognize, potentially causing them a lot of headache.

      And no, I’m not one of those diehard anti-AI people. My work has its own custom GPT model and I utilize it almost daily for menial tasks. But even having it generate script boilerplate and whatnot, I sometimes notice it writing stuff that won’t work and/or does it in a really verbose/weird way.

        You cant ask a youtube channel what distro best suit your specific usecase.

        Also realistically no one wants to sit trough a video to check out a strangers recommendation for linux.

        I do get that people are worried about the incompetence of AI but this topic and procedure is so bog standard i have more faith in chatgpt doing it then a human.

        If you dont believe me, try it.

        Ask chatgpt/claude/gemini “How to make a bootable linux media from windows” you will have to spend a long time trying before you find it fails on something this boilerplate.
