Ask HN: Year of Linux Desktop is fun with LLMs 2 by mirekrusin | 1 comments on Hacker News. 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.

The unnecessary comment is a staple of vibed code, but the tone also annoys me because it leaves behind the prompt. It words comments based on what it was asked to do, not in a timeless manner. I keep telling people in code reviews to remove unnecessary comments, and I feel I lack the vocabulary to express why this is bad.
