The problem is not the concept of ai pc but of microsoft ones that are network connected. I think linux distribution based around a local llm that is limited to assiting with the os and then have opt in for other capabilities could be really interesting.
Recently switched to Linux Mint on my daily driver. Trying Zorin OS on an old laptop. Both run smoother than windows OS ever did. My father wants to buy a new laptop, trying to convince him to use Linux (debian based preferably since that's what I've been most familiar with for years now).
I'm sort of way out on a niche branch on Linux with Garuda as base with my own rudimentary Hyprland deployment… I have never loved working on my workstation more
Hyprland is my new favorite. Never even thought I would like a tiling Windows manager before, but it is pretty sick. Quickshell is pretty cool too...
same… I always thought tiling window managers were too niche, for hardcore users only but here I am
Yeah, after testing it, I realized it was just more efficient and organized for me.
It's a crap solution in search of a problem.
Meanwhile, my laptops have been running Linux for the past 25 years and I only need to bring up a Windows VM once every year or two because some idiot government agency or corporation is too incompetent to comply with open standards.
Microsoft is basically an equivalent of Nazi in private market.
There are some jobs that need a PC just for basic tasks like sending and receiving messages and emails. Of course they could use a phone for this, but computers have bigger screens. They only need access to the Internet, a frendly GUI, and permissions controls. The way things are going, even big companies will switch to Linux when Windows 10 support finally ends.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
