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.
Finally. Exactly what i want. Current operating systems are too deterministic. I say one thing and I know exactly what it will do. Much more fun if I can never really be sure.
PC LOADLETTER?!?!?!?!
Have you found the Any key yet? I have been looking for years :/
Absolute game changer!
The person in the picture does not look like someone with the skillset necessary to make Linux communicate with the microphone on her mobile phone. The house is too clean, she is conventionally attractive, and she appears to have somewhat of a tan. Also, there are not empty computer cases and HDDs stacked up everwhere.
Honestly, I only really like Emacs.
most people seem to hate using electronics, so this checks out at least?
They just want to get to that scrolly-rolley dopamine drip. All that nerd stuff just gets in the way.
Obviously the sarcasm is coming through as intended but it betrays a strange notion of a common attitude towards computers amongst all people as a whole. For it to read as sarcasm one has to accept the premise that people like using computers generally, or if they don’t, they don’t use them. This would make an operating system for people who hate using computers a redundant and laughable concept. Except, a lot of people have no particular love for computers and use them because they’re mandatory aspect of everyday life, so a system that genuinely did market itself as for ‘people who hate using their own computer’ would probably be very appealing which would rather undermine the whole implied message of this post.
Whether such an OS would deliver the goods here an actually work well and reduce friction for users and not catastrophically break or be so inefficient it becomes useless is another matter.
Then again, old ladies and children prefer iPhones because the phone decides what you’re allowed to do.
ah, finally, a sloperating system.
The average user just wants their computer to “work,” whatever that means to them. They’re are as complacent as ever, especially with more “choices.”
Tech savvy will avoid this, disapprove of this because … as OP puts it.
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.
I think we will have bonzi buddy soonish on Linux desktop lol
Finally, an operating system for people who hate actually using their own computer.
Are they gonna be able to fight Apple in their home turf like this?
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.
Boomers are using the fork out of AI. I don’t think my parents do anything without consulting chatGPT - and yes I’ve explained the pros/cons.
The people
We want AI to automate shitty tasks like finding obscure files, grammar checking, generating 1 time use charts/reports, and translating mails.
AI and Software companies
we can give you AI that barely works at all for the asked tasks with tons of mistakes, but spies on your every move and reports it to your power tripping boss, your insurance company, your social credit score, financial institutions, and techno fascists.
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…
I’m so confused what functionality they’re actually hoping to gain from this.
It can now delete all your data without your consent twice as effeciently.
Don’t forget listening to you 24/7 to make sure get targeted marketing for the things and services you really want, and totally not for some other nefarious purpose. Linux AI Sloperating System has the ability to coordinate with your online accounts if the user agrees to the terms of service, sponsored by taco bell.
Gather users’ personal information more efficiently?
Anyone remember Microsoft “Bob?”
I missed this entirely. Looks like archive has the iso. Might have to spin up a VM to see this travesty for myself. Who knows, maybe Bob was before his time!
Hating to actually use one’s own computer is a pretty common position among people who don’t post to Linux forums.
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.
