Googling is so difficult for a Linux noob, and it takes a whole weekend to go through forums looking for solutions and commands to paste. I'm having much more success asking ChatGPT. ChatGPT and the Steam Deck have been the biggest factors in making me use Linux more and more.
Oh wow, why haven't I thought about asking chat gpt? That seems like a good place to start.
