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.
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.
Anyone remember Microsoft “Bob?”
I’m so confused what functionality they’re actually hoping to gain from this.
Gather users’ personal information more efficiently?
Doesn’t Omarchy already do this?
I mean sure, let’s see what they build, but its against what most Linux users want…
Still, since it’s probably free to try, let’s see.
Hating to actually use one’s own computer is a pretty common position among people who don’t post to Linux forums.
Oh so you mean Omarchy?
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.
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!
It looks more some sort of “ponderation”, which is in disuse from the Internet since 2014, maybe 2013.
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…
And they’ll probably lose interest after the first version is shipped
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
Sooo this?
Omarchy
Lol strong contender for that title
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
becausebecomes unusable if there’s no internet.Edit: spelling
If it has local LLMs and other models it is gonna have gigantic minimum requirements.
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.
Damn, the antithesis to Hanna Montana OS.
You get the worst, of both worlds

I want one of those old “Intel inside” stickers but saying “bullshit inside”. Can someone knock one up in gimp or something?
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
/s
Haha what could go wrong
so, most normal non-computer people?
