Picom blur background isn't working, help!
What distro? My pref is for Jonaburg's fork. Ibhagwan is out of date. Pijulius more so. Yshui doesn't have animation.

My Arch linux desktop configuration
This configuration uses Qtile extra package and one of my favourite picom fork for minimalistic look with rounded-corners

Does awesome dont support Translucent windows?
As others have said, Awesome doesn't ship with a compositor so you need one yourself. My choice is jonaburg's picom fork for the extra included features, but regular picom will do the job.

Best picom fork?
picom-jonaburg has rounded corners and animations. Window gaps are controlled by your window manager, compositors can't interact with them.

Can't remove rounded corners from evince
Offtopic: I know you didn't ask this, but I just saw the fork you are using was updated the last time in 2020: https://github.com/jonaburg/picom/tags . The current version of the original https://github.com/yshui/picom/releases got updated this year (2 years more development!). Unless you are using features that is only available in that fork, I would try the mainline, which also got some of these features too, in example support for rounding corners. So maybe this newer version works better.

How to exclude Qtile Bar from background-blur in picom
I am using Qtile (on a Laptop running Ubuntu 20.04), with jonaburg-picom, which is blurring my Qtile bar since some parts of it are configured to be transparent. How do I get rid of that blur, can someone help me with this?

Picom blur & transparency?
This is how I do it with awesomeWM on EndeavourOS. Maybe this will help you. I'm using picom-jonaburg-git.

Windows 11 has made the “clean Windows install” an oxymoron
I'd suggest Bottom as a TUI alternative to the in-built task managers - https://github.com/ClementTsang/bottom
It works on Windows also.

Report on platform-compliance for cargo directories
As a macOS user, it boils my brain whenever I've to type in something like ~/Library/Application Support/org.rust-lang.Cargo/config.toml. macOS users have been begging CLI tools to support XDG variables on macOS too. Setting defaults is a strong indication to the community what should be the "preferred" locations. The defaults defined in your article will invariably lead to some authors saying that if that path is good enough for cargo, then it is good enough for their tool. Even the latest draft RFC acknowledges that macOS should use XDG variables too. I've written more about this here.
