"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Most users wouldn't know how to install Windows, or which edition to install. Does that make Windows not user friendly too?
Plenty of Linux flavors that just works available for the average PC.
If you ask 10 different Linux users which distro to install, you’ll get 10 different answers. I don’t think this freedom is a bad thing, but it can be quite overwhelming for the user.
New linux users: check out this [new hyped distro they currently use]
Long time linux users: just pick anything mainstream
The boring reality is that if the project's been around for 10-20 years it will likely be around for another long while and have good community support.
With small projects, the two guys behind are busy fixing bugs, patching packages or writing the docs.
Nonsense, its the same like 3 distros get recommended every time. Mint, PopOS, and bazzite.
It's not that hard. "What Linux distro should I use? For what uses, you say? Eh, browse the web, mostly. Mint? Ok, thanks!"
