I used Claude & Gemini extensively to troubleshoot Linux since I switched last year, and it's been mostly great. But then it nearly bricked my install last week and I had to get some human help. I was getting black screens during and after boot and tried many suggestions from multiple AI's. After many hours it turns out I just needed to power cycle my monitor. Shout out to Claude for suggesting that (its memory remembered that I have a dock built in to my primary display).

I am still very happy with my switch to Linux. But if I didn't have the AI help I would say linux is still unacceptable platform for those not willing, able, and excited to get their hands very dirty.
