I've written a new blog post on AI.
I reluctantly learnt some of the concepts and tooling in this space and highlight these for newcomers.

I'm brave enough to say it: Linux is good now, and if you want to feel like you actually own your PC, make 2026 the year of Linux on (your) desktop
Now if you don't mind I'm going to delete the root folder and see what happens.
