I’m in the same boat as you, but haven’t tried making my own packages. Is there a guide somewhere I can follow?

OK, good points. I’ve had lots of hallucinations and fake info tho.
Actually the summaries are good, but you have to know some of it anyway and then check to see if it’s just making stuff up. That’s been my experience.
Yeah that’s interesting.
I hadn’t considered this. It’s interesting stuff. My old doctor used to just Google stuff in front of me and then repeat the info as if I hadn’t been there for the last five minutes.
This is the part that bothers me the most, I think.
Or ditto
I’m going to drop a recommendation for Skiff here. Paid but their free tier (which I’m using) has plenty of good stuff.
If you’ve got a spare USB stick laying around then you could install Ventoy on it (https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html) and run Linux in a live environment. Just (1) install Ventoy on the USB (this will wipe it, btw) (2) download any live Linux ISO (Mint has one of these) and put it on the USB (3) change your BIOS boot order to USB first (4) reboot and select the Linux you want to test drive from the Ventoy menu. (5) When you’re done, just shut down, unplug USB and reboot normally.
I reckon Kagi is the best search engine out there. It’s paid though. Second I’d have Qwant followed by DDG.
Obligatory mention of Kagi (which is actually brilliant).
This is really useful. Thanks a lot! (Agree about the wiki).
