Installed CachyOS half a year ago, the setup was short, involved, but no constant tweaking, my previous laptop was a Mint, same story, the installation process was made very simple and seamless a long while ago, unless you’re purposely trying something complex, that is.
AI != LLM != LLM chatbots.
But in this case the use of “AI” means “LLM chatbots”, nobody is really making an argument against other kinds of AI, like what is used to detect cancer (there is an argument to be made about having a black box in a medical context, but this is not the place for it).
LLM chatbots are designed to isolate you from the people around you, from other people online and from actual sources of knowledge, making it harder to build people power and actual community.
It is pretty inherent to these chatbots too, as they are basically a replacement to search engine (which themselves were replacements to indeces), otherwise they don’t serve a real purpose, that is to say there is no well defined problem it is a solution too.
You don’t need to be a dick about math just because billionaires use everything, including math, as a justification for their bullshit.
Yeah, older games require a bit of tinkering, the bigger the game’s community, the more likely it is documented, i play modded Morrowind and the process was rather simple, albeit very involved.
online-focused games should generally be a lot harder to install, so I understand the frustration, but it’s not an issue of installing the OS itself, just installing a game in an emulated environment, and using the correct settings, which shouldn’t be too different from emulating consoles, it makes it a bit easier to think about it that way.
