BTW, IBM/RHEL is hoping you might go for some red hat, IBM solutions for local distributed AI stuff :
But you know, the CEO isn't biased. /s
At least they're working on letting you have access to the open source (ish) local way of working with AIs instead of just the subscription model that the others are pushing.
I did some digging into this before giving the fuck up since my computer is a potato, and I have too many fucking things to do with my time.
If I could pick a company that has fucked up more than Microsoft or EA, it would be IBM. For the past 20 years, the whole company has been on a wild bender of buying good products, and shoving them headfirst into the ground.
For all their faults, IBM has treated Red Hat and Hashicorp better than Broadcom has treated VMware.
