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.

    Finally. Exactly what i want. Current operating systems are too deterministic. I say one thing and I know exactly what it will do. Much more fun if I can never really be sure.

    Obviously the sarcasm is coming through as intended but it betrays a strange notion of a common attitude towards computers amongst all people as a whole. For it to read as sarcasm one has to accept the premise that people like using computers generally, or if they don’t, they don’t use them. This would make an operating system for people who hate using computers a redundant and laughable concept. Except, a lot of people have no particular love for computers and use them because they’re mandatory aspect of everyday life, so a system that genuinely did market itself as for ‘people who hate using their own computer’ would probably be very appealing which would rather undermine the whole implied message of this post.

    Whether such an OS would deliver the goods here an actually work well and reduce friction for users and not catastrophically break or be so inefficient it becomes useless is another matter.

    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.

        Boomers are using the fork out of AI. I don’t think my parents do anything without consulting chatGPT - and yes I’ve explained the pros/cons.

        What’s this, Nuance?!

        Sir, I will have you know this is a Lemmy server. We don’t do that here.

        Now get your pitchfork and rabble!

        The people

        We want AI to automate shitty tasks like finding obscure files, grammar checking, generating 1 time use charts/reports, and translating mails.

        AI and Software companies

        we can give you AI that barely works at all for the asked tasks with tons of mistakes, but spies on your every move and reports it to your power tripping boss, your insurance company, your social credit score, financial institutions, and techno fascists.

      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…

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

      No. Lookup KORA and Cortex, very different than Omarchy.

      KORA with Cortex is local first by default where “local” can be an on-machine LLM and / or ones that located on the same local network. So it’s Hybrid with local first and the added party trick that you can tap an LLM on another machine that is also running Cortex.

    privacy-focused appeal of Linux

    Linux isn’t inherently privacy-focused. It’s focused on interoperability and customizability.

    You could use it as a foundation for a distro that watches its users even more efficiently than Windows or MacOS. You might even call it ChromeOS or Android or something.

      No. KORA’s secret sauce is an Orchestrator called Cortex that uses LLMs and resources that are local to machine AND NETWORK before sending work to the cloud.

        Hm, never used Omarchy, but I thought there were ways to setup local LLM too in place of the online services. So in KORA’s case its a hybrid then.

          Close. KORA with Cortex is local first by default where “local” can be an on-machine LLM and / or ones that located on the same local network. So it’s Hybrid with local first and the added party trick that you can tap an LLM on another machine that is also running Cortex.

      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

    The average user just wants their computer to “work,” whatever that means to them. They’re are as complacent as ever, especially with more “choices.”

    Tech savvy will avoid this, disapprove of this because … as OP puts it.

        Don’t forget listening to you 24/7 to make sure get targeted marketing for the things and services you really want, and totally not for some other nefarious purpose. Linux AI Sloperating System has the ability to coordinate with your online accounts if the user agrees to the terms of service, sponsored by taco bell.

      I missed this entirely. Looks like archive has the iso. Might have to spin up a VM to see this travesty for myself. Who knows, maybe Bob was before his time!

      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 becomes unusable if there’s no internet.

        Edit: spelling

          If it has local LLMs and other models it is gonna have gigantic minimum requirements.

          Exact opposite. KORA with Cortex is local first by default where “local” can be an on-machine LLM and / or ones that located on the same local network. So it’s Hybrid with local first and the added party trick that you can tap an LLM on another machine that is also running Cortex.

        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.
