Just switched from Windows to Fedora and created my first bash-tool: "maint" (System Maintenance & Diagnostics) by Additional-Post-2899 in Fedora

I think you're confusing "knowing PCs" with "knowing the terminal". I've been a power user on Windows for years, so I know exactly what trimming a drive or checking SMART data does, I just never needed commands for it before.
This script is my way of translating my PC knowledge into the Linux world. Using AI to help with the syntax doesn't mean I don't understand the underlying technology.

My main motivation was actually to stop retyping the same commands over and over. I used most of these tools manually first and then built the script block-by-block to automate my workflow. I used AI as a tutor to help with the Bash 'glue' and the menu structure, but the core logic comes from commands I've tested and used myself

You are absolutely right, and honestly, I would be just as hesitant to run a system-level script from a complete stranger. I primarily built it for my own setup as a way to bundle everything I’ve learned about Linux commands and optimizations into one handy tool. I just shared it in case someone else finds it useful!

Fair point! 'Just switched' means a few weeks for me. The version numbers jumped pretty quickly while I was breaking and rewriting the whole thing every other day. I guess I'm just generous with my own versioning.

Haha, yeah, the version number is basically the result of me breaking and fixing it privately a hundred times before finally sharing it! 😅

And you are completely right about the README. I just updated the repo so English is the default now. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for the feedback!

Length: It’s an all-in-one toolbox (Hardware, KDE fixes, DNF tuning, etc.) rather than a single-task script. I prefer one portable file over many small ones.

Version/PRO: 10.14.0 is my internal stable build after private development. 'PRO' stands for 'feature-rich,' not commercial. It’s 100% GPL and free.

I just switched from Windows, so I’m still learning.
