From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Based on what I read/saw and got out of it, I am real disappointed it looks like it's gonna be using genAI instead of another form of AI we've been using for transcription. Otherwise, sounds like trying to be a modern genAI version of that speech to text software I'd see ads for on TV. Possibly good for accessibility, but I'll wait and see after it comes out.
At least they claim the whole thing to be done offline after model installation and it's allegedly sandboxed with the audio data being stored in a memory buffer that allegedly will be erased after the session. So I'll have to wait and see how this all plays out before making more judgments on it.
