Generative AI systems are changing the way people interact with computers. MCP (model context protocol) is a way that enables LLMs to run commands and use tools to enable live, conversational interaction with systems. Using the new linux-mcp-server, let’s walk through how you can talk with your Fedora system for understanding your system and getting […]

Users points out in comments how the LLM recommends APT on Fedora which is clearly wrong. I can’t tell if OP is responding with LLM as well–it would be really embarrassing if so.

PS: Debian is really cool btw :)

        I man, I guess I could see it as a sort of training wheels to get going, if one comes in to this cold… There are certain commands that just have very complicated arguments, and particularly if only very occasionally needed, an LLM I could see as helping folks get whatever specific bit they want out of a very verbose usage output or man page.

        But it so famously messes up that they have to go lookup any suggestions to understand what it will do better than it would.

        If one has no interest in actually learning the command line as a long teem goal though… Just don’t bother. Their usage scenario is almost certainly within the scope of the gui experience. They might be slower on some tasks and unable to scale out their skills to mass operations or create convenient automation, but not everyone has that need.

        After evaluation of local models, Claude, gemini 3, chatgpt… It’s certainly interesting but it really messes up a lot and if it has access even in their to anything “real”, it’s supremely dangerous to use if you are not qualified to review the results.
