ive been using Linux for 20 years. my assumption is that your barrier is tedious linux usability problems.

my suggestion specifically would be to give it research powers and regular non-root access, have it write configs and answer questions about your system, suggest alternative packages to install etc.

Alright, I'll give this a go on a VM first. If it can solve my RDP-like issues I'll be supremely happy - but to my knowledge, Linux just doesn't support such a thing the way I want to use it.

I'll test this on Ubuntu, Mint, Pop, and Debian to start but let me know if there is a distro you recommend.

i am an extreme fan of arch, even if for no other reason than the AUR

im not sure about rdp but i remember vnc being the cross platform standard years ago. i have a comet wifi kvm giving me access to a mac mini because i need it for certain tools
