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.

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?
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.
Hating to actually use one's own computer is a pretty common position among people who don't post to Linux forums.
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.
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..
Oh so you mean Omarchy?
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.
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 ~~because~~ becomes unusable if there’s no internet.
Edit: spelling
This is funny to me because I highly doubt the LLM runs locally
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.
If it has local LLMs and other models it is gonna have gigantic minimum requirements.
Damn, the antithesis to Hanna Montana OS.
You get the worst, of both worlds
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.
I want one of those old "Intel inside" stickers but saying "bullshit inside". Can someone knock one up in gimp or something?
Haha what could go wrong
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
so, most normal non-computer people?
