From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Does this "obviously" have to use AI? I can see a tool that sorts files into folders based on file extensions, modification dates and/or metadata could get the work done.
And if organising files by content (e.g. "my zoo trip", "meetings with Xenia") is that important, doing it manually seems like a better idea because accuracy is presumably important.
I don't really see the distro hopping argument either. Even if you don't share your home directory between installs, presumably you copy over your files as directories rather than individually pouring them into one super folder?
I think a lot of folks with very limited IT knowledge think AI will solve things that have been solved for decades.
The issue is availability and elitism. A noob user doesnt know how to find this stuff, google is so rotten that its not help anymore and pros often just shit on them instead of making a comprehensive wiki.
