Ask HN: Year of Linux Desktop is fun with LLMs

2•mirekrusin•1h ago
I'm wondering if others are also having recently blast using Linux desktop thanks to Claude/Codex/Grok CLIs?

As 20y daily Mac user, occasionally using Linux as desktop, my personal daily OS now gravitated towards Linux desktop in recent months quite a lot.

I attribute it purely to LLM CLIs. Even my old 2012 Intel iMac 27" on Linux became really good and pleasant machine to use. After dusting it off and setting it up I don't want to give it away anymore.

Solutions to quirks/customizations seem to be few prompts away and it's actually fun to do as well.

Things like brightness on Apple Studio/iMac not working are not only solved in few minutes but solved really well (native OSD indistinguishable from system volume, perfect latency, mapped to gamma 2.2 perceptual curve etc), Magic Keyboard/macOS key bindings muscle memory which normally was painful is solved in few minutes, Steam not starting C&C on old GPU/mismatched driver versions - sorted out in few minutes etc etc

It goes deeper as well, ie. compiling KASAN kernel and reproducing some edge race on current hardware is something I'd never have time to do, investigating, learning so many specialized details etc. to get to the bottom of it, but now it feels fun.

Anybody else experiencing something similar?
