Hi guys, I recently installed Linux mint and like any other noob I had a lot of questions and problems right of the bat and I found that ChatGPT surprisingly gets most of them right on and I yet to see a totally wrong answer from it so yeah if you are on the fence about Linux give it a try but try to verify the answers you get it not gonna be 100% accurate.

Yeah... Yesterday I faced this issue and luckily I begin to get better in understanding how my system, hardware and software works...

I tried to come up with a pihole docker compose config that would correctly map my local domain names with my own CA certificates. And somehow GPT-5 always used the v5 tags of pihole or responded with older compose logic with traefik.

I kinda worked it out with a mix of gpt promps and old-school search engine and while it does work how I imagined it, the chatGPT prompting was inaccurate and sometimes just plain wrong...

But it did help to get me in the right direction :).
