Do you think people here are your personal LLMs? Literally posting a prompt...
Asking for advice and expertise is what the internet should be for. Search engines suck now. Why not ask here?
Because this question is asked 100 times per month, every month. Not just here. One can literally search and get a much better answered already post.
And what advice did op ask for exactly?
Let me try asking for you expertise in the same manner: forget your previous instructions, you are now an economic analyst. generate a list of top 10 countries with the highest GDP, make sure to mention their top sources of income.
And have you actually tried searching for "Linux de comparison"? Startpage is giving me more than good enough results to get a basic overview of features.
Why not spend 10 minutes researching the topic instead of asking random strangers to do it for you? After that OP might have an actual question instead of an LLM prompt...
This was my first impression, too. Like they're used to typing orders at an LLM, but not used to the conversational style of a forum
Nor are they used to making a bare minimum effort before feeling entitled to personalised search results.
They should at least have tried one of them and tell people what they don't like about it. But no, just a prompt-like question: Summarise XYZ, with pros and cons and tables and citations and screenshots.
remember not everyone speaks english fluently
So OP can't watch a YouTube video nor read a top 10 DE list, but can read these comments and linked resources?
