I've been daily-driving Linux and wondering: if I wanted to build a local tool to fix my own desktop friction, what would actually work?

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. I love Linux, but whenever I hit some weird driver snag or a legacy app issue, I find myself wishing I had a smart local assistant that could actually untangle my config files or trace system logs for me instead of me spending two hours digging through old forum threads.

​I'm curious what other people here do. If you were building or using a local tool to automate away the annoying, repetitive desktop headaches, what would you want it to target first?

Has anyone actually set up local agents or scripts that handle system troubleshooting well, or is it still more trouble than it's worth?
