Linux distro pictured: Ubuntu

People might get offended by this since it's also owned by a company.

I'm too old to learn a new OS syntax and foibles and tricks, I've been DOS --> Windows (and Android), and I'm done for one lifetime. I've been an anti Apple since the days of the "pc clone". Hope all the kids have fun with their linuxes and such, I'm ride or die Windows at this point, come what may.

LLMs have a high coolness-to-code ratio; very cool and not a lot of code. This is the type of thing open source developers are more interested in, so I hope Linux will have some good AI built-in and running locally.

Half of Linux usage is on the text-based command line anyway, just what LLMs are good at.

I like Linux a lot and do want to have it as my OS, but most of the games are either painfully slow or just instantly crash upon loading. No game has ran better on linux than on windows, so I'm stuck unfortunately.

I just switched my gaming laptop to slowly running Manjaro. So far I've had good luck running most everything in my steam library, including some major titles. All look great at very high end settings. You should give it another go.

Really? I only ever have trouble with non-Steam games. Make sure you're setting the compatibility to Proton rather than the Linux Runtime since it often works better. I know if I try to play native Linux games I lose my cursor. Can I ask what hardware you're using?

Or you could just opt out. But hey, to each their own.

Not happening. People are always afraid of new features. But when they try, see it's convenient, and forget all about past reservations.

Its going to be the same with this. Ai is here and soon we won't be able to imagine computers without it.

You say that like a specific technology is inevitable, but it never is. The general march of tech will continue on, but no one thing is ever guaranteed.

e.g. 20 years ago everyone needed custom browser toolbars and now it's not even possible to add one on major browsers. We eliminated the need for browser features by cramming 99% of what we need into a handful of websites that are constantly refreshed.

e.g. 10 years ago blockchain was surging and today it still doesn't have a usable application. Turns out spreadsheets don't really need to be distributed.

Machine learning is just an algorithm nobody understands. If I needed something to give me wrong answers to questions I'll ask my dog.
