Linux installs fast. Then you spend the next hour doing the same boring ritual: browser, codecs, media tools, chat apps, dev tools, fonts, utilities… all via tabs, notes, and half-forgotten package names.
So I built LinuxMate: a free, open-source helper that generates a clean “get me productive” install script from a checklist. Basically Ninite, but for Linux, and without the “sign in to continue existing” vibes.
- Pick apps/tools
- Choose your distro / package manager
- Get a reproducible script
- Run it and move on with your life

If you’ve got strong opinions (the useful kind): distro support, package picks, safer defaults, or edge cases, I’m collecting feedback.
So that’s the mistake I made and the important part. Thanks for clarifying.
I still feel misled that it’s labelled as somehing it isn’t (“my reasoning”).
What do you mean?
Posting a link to something that is implied to have been written by you (“my reasoning”) while being written by an LLM. OP argues that because the LLM wrote the text, it is not your reasoning.
Is it your reasoning or is it genereted text reasoning about something that you agree with? (i.e. not strictly your reasoning if the LLM created it, according to OP).
This is just my interpetation, I am not saying that anyone is right or wrong.
Fair point on the wording. The blog text was LLM assisted, but the decisions and the project are mine and I edited it heavily to match what I actually did and why. I should have said “the reasoning behind the project” rather than “my reasoning.” If it helps, I can add a short note to the blog saying it was AI assisted but curated and based on my actual experience running LinuxMate across multiple machines and distros. Now that the wording is clarified, I’d rather keep the thread about LinuxMate and practical feedback. 😄
