ASUS Googlebook 14 - The Real Deal?

A non-developer used OpenAI's Codex to modify the Fedora installer, producing a more automated setup that writes backups to an automatically mounted partition on the installer USB, offers desktop environment options, copies network information to the installed system, removes password length enforcement, skips LUKS encryption, and runs from a single command with error handling and progress output. The modified installer also handles kernel updates via a dnf scriptlet, which the author reports as tested and working.

I went ahead and used Codex to modify the installer for Fedora. I’m not a developer, so this was entirely GPT. Having said that, the installer is now much more automated, writing backups to an automatically mounted partition on the installer USB, giving options for DE, automatic copying of network info to the installed system, no password length enforcement, no LUKS (not something I need), and all via a single command with some error handling and progress output. It also handles kernel updates now via dnf scriptlet (tested working).
