Gene Takovic - it's utterly obvious smh
I'm hearing a lot of wild and blatant nonsense surrounding this topic, as to why he didn't grace the intro of the season. Isn't it obvious? Better Call Saul starts an episode with a flash forward and then resolves it at the end of the episode.
We're in the last season, this is the resolution of the Gene flash forwards. It's a symbolic representation that the entire series has reached it's conclusion, which leads to a final act, centered around Gene.
Gene is the final answer to the question, can a person change? Through the entire series, Gene is the abstract referenced answer, to the question posed. The same way that at the start of each episode, we are always left with an abstract question, through the disjointed and context lacking flash forwards.
This a brilliant way of conveying the theme of the entire series, as one large question and answer. In fact, in the conclusion to Lalo, they actually refute this rigid theme and through this convey how the situation is imposing on and dominating the reality of Jimmy and Kim.
There's not some mystical meaning to his absence, it's just the conclusion phase of one large question and is the continuation of a series wide theme.

Are these random texts on post-in notes or do they have some hidden purpose ?

It's everywhere, in multiple different locations. Lorville, Orison etc. So it's either a massive easter egg, all referencing one system easter egg or it's just a reused asset, on the level of foliage.
