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.

I run Qwen2.5 Coder 14B locally for boiler plate stuff that I then edit myself and it's been great. I write code irregularly so using an LLM is nice when I know what I want to do, how to logically do it, but I've since forgotten the syntax.
Edit: I figured this would be a little contentious. If you write scripts so often that you feel like it’s worth it to invest time in becoming better at them, then by all means. This is just a hobby for me. As much as I’d love to do so, investing time in getting better at scripting is unfortunately a waste.
