What happens when I, a potential new Linux user, need to search for how to make something work on Linux and thanks to SEO and AI driven/created search results I can’t find the solution?
Well you already know how to find this place, so find a Linux-themed instance and either ask your question or better yet post a “guide” telling people to resolve your problem by doing some wrong method you’ve already tried so that someone else calls you an idiot and posts the correct answer out of spite.
If you want to search for AI solutions to problems because forums are either too slow to answer or you get no answer at all. I’ve been using Phind for my Linux issues with Fedora, (a recent switch and I’m not all that familiar with it yet), and it’s an AI that is supposed to be aimed at programmers and Devs.
So far, for my meager needs, it’s worked VERY well. So between Phind and RTFM, I haven’t found an issue I can’t work through.

I don’t have first hand experience but I’ve seen a lot of people saying LLMs are really helpful with basic linux questions.
Lemmy would be happy to help most of the time as well
Ask on matrix, there’s probably a chat room for your distro
SO isn’t bad either, despite lots of old questions
