Linux doesn’t deserve this

Imagine taking the lightweight, privacy-focused appeal of Linux and completely ruining it by hardwiring AI models straight into the OS. Nobody is switching from Windows for more forced AI features.

    Hating to actually use one’s own computer is a pretty common position among people who don’t post to Linux forums.

    Windows users: literally begging MS to stop putting AI everywhere

    This company: guys aren’t you tired of all the lack of AI in Windows?

      It’s important to note that not all Windows users have the same opinion. There are a lot of people who like and want to use more Ai. I guess this company is for them, not for those who hate the OS level of integration of Ai.

      My question is why in the world would I want a banner showing up with an ad or headline of a upcoming news title… or my desktop telling me a full background wallpaper ad…

      Nha, it’s the developer’s grand vision. It will instead take one month of patches until Claude becomes unable to understand what it wrote and spend the entire Pro subscription to add one line

        Or, more likely when “master slave” and similar terms get overused the internal safetytrigger blocks the entire chat

    Makes sense, there's plenty of people who would want to switch to Linux but can't at the moment because none of the distros have the modern AI features

    I want one of those old “Intel inside” stickers but saying “bullshit inside”. Can someone knock one up in gimp or something?

      Arguably even worse. The kernel is Linux (99% human made), the desktop is probably based on something existing (probably 50% human made), but you can’t actually do anything. AI is integrated into everything. Think Windows but worse, somehow. Probably with less telemetry, at least! If the LLM is on-device, which it probably isn’t. It’s probably connected straight to ChatGPT APIs

        This is funny to me because I highly doubt the LLM runs locally, which means the OS because unusable if there’s no internet.

        The kernel is Linux (99% human made)

        At the current state, I would say its way more than 99% human made. Probably like 99.99% human made, and the 0.01% generated by Ai is checked by the Linux experts, so no slop comes through.
