From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Also how is speech to text AI? It has existed for decades, obviously a lot better now but I don't think I'd consider it "AI"
And 'AI' has existed since the 1950s.
There's been ML and non-ML ways of doing STT over the years. as far as I recall. The current best implementations are ML-based. In coloquial terms ML algorithms are AI. We used to call them AI in the 2010s, before AI was (un)cool.
I have been using a speech-to-text AI system the last day, and I'm using a whisper large 3 turbo and a rewording model that fixes the sentence but doesn't rewrite it, and it's almost perfect. I'm using European-hosted AI through cortecs.ai, and it's really cheap.
