AI? Look, I helped a friend fix a new install. It wasn’t Linux fault, it was a setting in the bios that needed to be changed. But the AI had them trying all sorts of things that were unrelated, and was never going to help. Use with a grain of salt.

I have the same experience but sometimes it was even worse; Sometimes the AI would confidently recommend doing things that might lead to breakage. Personally I recommend against using AI to learn Linux. It's just not worth it and will only give new users a false impression of how things work on Linux. People are much better off reading documentation (actual documentation, not SEO slop on random websites) or asking for help in forums.

It has a green lock icon with the word "Private" next to it so it's fine bro.

I feel you on that last paragraph. Some time ago I came across this project which seems to be worth following. I've been running a hacked together Sway+Swaysome+Swaylock+Waybar combo for the past few years that is efficient for my workflow but it looks incredibly bland and can be a PITA to maintain. I really want a self-contained wl compositor that is customizable, has style to it and maybe even comes with some cool screensavers.

I can recommend WindowMaker. It's a simple Window Manager that can just be started via .xinitrc.

arch-meson is a small wrapper script for meson:

$ cat /usr/bin/arch-meson
#!/bin/bash -ex
# Highly opinionated wrapper for Arch Linux packaging

exec meson setup \
  --prefix        /usr \
  --libexecdir    lib \
  --sbindir       bin \
  --buildtype     plain \
  --auto-features enabled \
  --wrap-mode     nodownload \
  -D              b_pie=true \
  -D              python.bytecompile=1 \
  "$@"
