Switching to Linux means you might have to say goodbye to certain proprietary software and games. Applications like Adobe Creative Suite

as someone whose job mostly involves Adobe programs and whose many hobby is gaming, I think I'll stick with a Windows with all the AI crap disabled via group policies and O&O Shutup ๐Ÿ˜ For now...

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.

We tried to tell them. Years ago, when Windows 10 came out, we tried to tell them all, and did they listen? LOL, no, they scoffed at us, laughed at us, mocked us, said "it'll be fine!", and "it'll be great!", and "it's not so bad!", and even tried to cancel us for warning people, and for promoting linux as an alternative. So what are they doing now, now that all the Microsoft chickens have come home to roost? They're panicking because all their data really does belong to Microsoft, and they're all so thoroughly entrenched with Windows that they can't even escape without wrecking their lives.

Fools.

I never even had Windows past XP. I've been using linux for 6 years now, and I've never looked back even once -- and every month there's one more reason I see to never put Windows on any computer I own.

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.

What would an ai achieve? The only thing I can think of is a documentation summariser, but that can already be made with current applications independent of linux

Linux distro pictured: Ubuntu

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

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.

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