    This feels super useful,open-source can be amazing but the scattered solutions make it overwhelming. An AI like OpenBuddy could really cut down the frustration and make Linux way more approachable for beginners and even pros.

    I really like this idea, mostly for how it makes open-source tools less scary and more beginner-friendly. It feels like having a personal Linux mentor. One thing to think about is how to keep the info accurate and up to date since open-source projects change quickly.

    Great ideaβ€”having an AI guide would save a lot of time. One challenge I see is avoiding over-simplification; Linux users range from beginners to power users, and striking the right balance could be tough.
