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.

It's pointless and stupid is what it is.
Please let people have fun with computers, thank you. This doesn't sound like the 100th Arch reskin and doesn't sound like "just a bunch of config files" either.
If you need to start a flamewar, please do it with that far-right LLM slopfest grift that is Omarchy.
Thank you for the comment! Omarchy is pretty much just a facists vibe-coded Hyprland rice shipped as a distro used for money-laundering while I try to provide something useful that bridges a gap between stability and performance. Scroll down to the disclaimer section, click on the link and see me struggling to make an ugly logo instead of asking an AI lmao
Love it!! You seem to have a similar stance on LLMs as I do. They're useful if used correctly, but still destroying the world for nothing in 95% of cases, because most people using them are stupid and talentless.
Jup, I DO use AI and bought an Intel B70 to run stuff locally with my own llama.cpp-sycl AUR package, but just to automate meaningless and tedious work. For example I have a .sh script that I run once and compile all four kernel versions and push them to my website automatically. That .sh is completely vibe-coded locally, the only person I could harm by that is myself haha. That way I can save time and pay attention to the actually relevant stuff. But vibe-coding stuff that could harm the user's experience is a hard no for me.
You spent 1700€ for that? Jesus, how rich are your parents?!?! 😄
I actually got it for 1249€ the same month it released! I'm super happy with it, worth every penny.
Still expensive af. I have an RX 7800 XT and paid half of what you paid for your GPU, and still was annoyed it cost so much. Computing should be something accessible by the masses, not a hobbyist elite like us.
Yeah, it's a shame that consumer hardware has gotten this expensive, but compared to the cost of other alternatives the B70 is a fantastic deal, especially at the old price. Cyberpunk 2077 still runs at 100fps at 3440x1440p with max settings RT off, Qwen3.8-27B at UD-Q6_K_XL with 131k context runs at up to 35tok/s TG and 900tok/s PP with my llama.cpp-sycl AUR package.
