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.

Noteworthy that this is being done by the guy behind "Cyanogen" and he's doing it with Linux for the same reason as Valve; so that they're not dependent on a Commercial OS that they cannot control. Their "Cortex" engine has real possibility since it leverages local resources before shedding work to the cloud. If it works as promised it's likely that Microsoft will soon be making them an offer they cannot refuse.

Here's the original techcrunch article: https://techcrunch.com/2026/11/10/after-challenging-googles-android-with-cyanogen-its-co-founder-takes-aim-at-windows-for-ai-era/

Yet another reason to avoid it

I'd object to this if it were open source and forkable, but looks like it is not and so your OS becoming corpo-fied is an especially salient and unavoidable risk:

Cortex is KORA's own technology and is not open source

I will probably give KORA a try when it's available. I'm not on the "fuck ai" train and I see no reason to avoid experimenting with something like this.

To your point Microsoft has already started on something similar anyway.
