That includes posts generated by LLMs. It doesn’t matter if you “don’t have the time” or “would’ve written the same anyway”, or if “everyone’s doing it geez get with the times”.
For now it’ll also include “AI”-assisted projects that haven't had at least two months of (public, verifiable) dev time behind them.

Depends on the person I guess. I set myself up to dual boot. Last time I booted into windows was well over a month ago, and it was during the initial move over to Linux. I still keep a dual boot, but I'm much more inclined to use the new Linux setup rather than Windows (10, I use 11 for work laptop and I am not at all tempted to install it even for a second boot).
I feel like when people have a work computer (running Windows usually) the switch to Linux is generally far easier. Work is the most important thing someone might need Windows for.
