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.

I assume we'll still need the 32 bit libraries to play 32 bit games, which at this point is probably just older games that will never be updated. I guess it depends on what you like to play, but I'll be stuck with them for some time yet.
I always thought that whatever games need is containerized in proton, but that for windows games. For old linux games i think repackaging them as flatpaks is an option.
