What's always kept me from making the jump is that I'll get hours, day, or weeks into using it and then hit a dealbreaker. It's always something basic but bizarre, and the attitude of the community is always "Come on dude, you should've known you can't use that distro if you want to have a network file share with filenames that start with the letter B." The solution is always to either go f*ck myself and start over or change something that breaks some other core functionality. "Ok this patch fixes your issue with pasted text never having capital letters but you'll only be able to connect to wifi 802.11AC or better, not N or G."

ChatGPT may have solved your problem. Instead of getting the sarcastic answers from the community, you can have ChatGPT figure it out.

My experience with ChatGPT has been less than stellar. It's great at making things up but it's terrible at actually following rules. So far I've had it fail to follow the rules for making a D&D character despite correctly telling me what they are and fail to write a simple batch file to find and replace text.

In this context, I think it might be useful for fixing your distro problems.

Otherwise I agree with the problems you have found. Its bad at logic/rules. Good at repeating what it found on reddit.

Out of curiosity, what is a specific issue that you have had in the past?
