Personally, I consider Antigravity was a positive & ambitious launch. Initial impression was that there are many rough edges to be smoothed out. I hit many errors like 1. communicating with Gemini (Model-as-a-Service) 2. Agent execution terminated due to errors, etc., but somehow it completed the task (verification/review UX is bad).
Pricing for paid plans with AI Pro or Workspace would be key for its adoption, when Gemini 3.x and Antigravity IDE are ready for serious work.

Gemini CLI is open source and being actively developed, which is cool (/extensions, /model switching, etc.). I think it has the potential to become a lot better and even close to top players.
The correct way of using Gemini CLI is: ABUSE IT! With 1M Context Window (soon to be 2M) and generous daily (free) quota are huge advantages. It's a pity that people don't use it enough (ABUSE it!). I use it as a TUI / CLI tool to orchestrate tasks and workflows.
> Fun fact: I found Gemini CLI pretty good at judging/critiquing code generated by other tools LoL
Recently I even hook it up with homebrew via MCP (other Linux package managers as well?), and a local LLM powered Knowledge/Context Manager (Nowledge Mem), you can get really creative abusing Gemini CLI, unleash the Gemini power.
I've also seen people use Gemini CLI in SubAgents for MCP Processing (it did work and avoided polluting the main context), can't help laughing when I first read this -> https://x.com/goon_nguyen/status/1987720058504982561
Text message and Authenticator were disabled, two Yubikeys present in Security Keys. I don't get the idea of this process.
So I did it on a laptop. The process seemed legit, the entire flow was weird and not intuitive, I had to stop and read twice before proceeding (e.g. "Where to store passkey", disable all other MFA ans only use Security Key, a backup recovery code was given...). After going through all that, find myself locked out of X because of the infinite re-enroll loop, OMG.
Contacted support, let's see how long it takes. After this, I don't think I'll continue to use Security Key with X...
What's more amazing these days is that technology like `bootmod3` (bm3) makes flashing (remmaping) stage one as easy as 1-2-3. One needs to understand what they are doing though.
Fortunately, decision makes heard the voice from the field and customers, eventually offloaded the container orchestration layer (and underlying infrastructure) to managed k8s service provider, the solution is delivered as helm charts to be installed on customers' own managed k8s (EKS, AKS, GKE and OpenShift - oh, the Red Hat OpenShi(f)t is just another rabbit hole...). But again, lack of knowledge and hands-on skill operating / running k8s (not yet a commodity although it is hyped to be...) makes the journey quite turbulent from a business PoV (technically it's easy, built the skills in house, hire the right talents).
Found it a useful single point of view / administration covering networking, storage, virtualization, containerization, etc. when managing a small group of servers over nebula (overlay network), across home, multiple cloud service providers. Haven't used it at scale though, will dip into it when time comes (it supports FreeIPA).
On Pi 2 and 3 it's no longer an issue (even if you don't do anything about it) to a memory buff and better I/O (using faster micro SD).
Pi-hole provides a mechanism to backup and rotate the database from time to time, one can do that whatever way suits their use cases.
Last Nov I spent half day installing Pi-hole on spare Pi 2 and Pi 3 (Ubuntu LTS) serving as two internal DNS Servers for home network), router (AsusWrt-Merlin) as its upstream doing DoT (DNS over HTTPS). Really happy with the performance and cost (quite, low power consumption, no heating issue, no dust collection issue, etc.)
It has been the fact for me since 2003, not for gaming though ;-) Don't get me wrong, I do think gaming on Linux is cool and it helped at picking up new "Linux desktop" users.
What's more interesting is, with WSLg it is even possible to run GUI (X / Wayland).
