Both Ubuntu and Fedora have made it official: support is coming soon for running local generative AI instances.

An epic and still-growing thread in the Fedora forums states one of the goals for the next version: the Fedora AI Developer Desktop Objective. It is causing some discontent, and at least one Fedora contributor, SUSE’s Fernando Mancera, has resigned.

    I don’t really understand the point? You can already do a lot on Linux using AI via CLI with bash.

      I’m not a fan, but obviously, AI on the desktop is not about the CLI and bash, which are not the desktop.

      Correct: you don’t. I’m basing this only off what you wrote, but I’m reasonably confident of my answer. Glad I could answer the question as asked.

        I miss the good ole days on the Internet when random strangers wouldn’t try to white knight people who casually assault the English language.

        If you don’t want people to correct you then be correct in the first place or accept the ribbing as a sign that you messed up.

        And to the downvoters: there is enough free range ignorance on the Internet, it isn’t an endangered species that you need to protect. literally
