A perfect example when to use AWK.

It depends, there are no hard rules. I have a preference for the native package manager with pacman and repository of my distribution. I also would like to use AUR more often, but it depends who is maintaining that package. It also depends if there is a Flatpak available. Some AppImages have an auto update for itself, so I download it only once and use the applications own update functionality manually.

The good thing about AppImages are that they usually don’t require super user privileges to install (in other words use) them and I can also archive them very easily.

I agree, this is the real impact of Ai. It won’t replace developers, but make them work for less money. But I actually think real programmers will be even more needed in the future, if there is ton of bad code written by non coders with Ai or even by real coders with the support of Ai. That means we get more code, that needs to be reviewed and worked on by real programmers.

Therefore on one hand it will lessen the money earned for real programmers, on the other hand they will be more useful and needed in the future.

If you want debug code, then hopefully it isn’t written by an Ai agent. Otherwise good luck (besides simple functions or code blocks off course).

Ai isn’t replacing coding either.

Mozilla was not controlled by Google.

Not sure if this is meant here, but shockingly many people believe that “funding” something equals to “controlling” it.

But make backups…

The big boost for gaming is only relevant if you do not use Proton. While there might be some boost for selected games, in general the new Kernel 6.14 shouldn’t make much of a difference for Steam gamers using Proton. Because Proton already got some alternative to NTSync mechanism, which improved some titles already.

The benchmarks presented with huge %-boosts and improvements are compared to previous WINE version, which do not have some of the alternative optimizations from Proton. Therefore I would be a bit cautious, if you already play on Steam using Proton.

The question is, who decides what shitty guide is. You? Let people write what they want, you don’t have to use or read it. Also why not tell those you write shitty guides and tell them what is shitty, so they can improve. Instead trash talk on an unrelated forum??
