"What used to be its Achilles heel, which is a load of text based config files and CLIs, has now, in an agentic age, become its superpower, because agents can just drive Linux."
Nathan Day has run Linux on the desktop for twenty years. Hours lost to printers and monitors back in the day.
Every annoying thing about it, plain text config, verbose logs, everything in a terminal, is exactly what an AI agent needs to customise and fix the machine for you. Mac and Windows don't give an agent that kind of grip.
