Java is wholly separate from Linux. In… basically every way possible.

Yes, it does. Not only for servers, but every single application that wasn’t written for X11 specifically continues to just work. Which is the vast majority.

Totally +1 for MX. I’ve tried a few distros over the years, and sure plenty of woes ‘could’ be the recent growing pains into Wayland, etc … but thus far, MX has been so fucking easy it’s almost concerning.

The only thing I’d slightly gripe about so far is the highly limited options at install time. No multiple partition setup or nearly any alternative choices … but that can also be viewed as a positive.

From the standpoint of, “I just want this shit to work”, it’s been excellent.

I was also looking at cinnamon, but I wanted a KDE Plasma option. Then I ran into MX and figured why not try? A couple of very simple and fast installs later, and two different laptops are now running it.

The extreme ease at installing nvidia drivers was just icing on the cake for how easy the rest went.

Unless the programs in question rely on conflicting core dependencies that actually have to have hooks into the system, like KWallet and other credential managers, and other similarly “system” level tools, you’ll be totally fine. Worst case while avoiding those, you might have to install some hefty frameworks (eg: KDE’s dependencies are >1gb), but that’s about it.

If they need to integrate with specific core utilities, it can get weird. Though as long as you check for conflicting stuff before actually installing, you’ll be fine.

No, it wasn’t a virtue signal, you fucking dingdongs.

Capitalism is rife with undercooked products, because getting a product out there starts the income flowing sooner. They don’t have to be making a profit for a revenue stream to make sense. Some money is better than no money. Get it?

Fuck, it’s like all you idiots can do is project your lack of understanding on others…

How does it not? This isn’t a fucking debate. How would artificially bloating the number of tokens they sell not help their bottom line?

Not the models. AI tools that integrate with the models. The “AI” would be akin to the backend of the tool. If you’re using Claude as the backend, the tool would be asking claude more questions and repeat questions via the API. As in, more input.

Literally all of the hope post communities.

If it’s not said to you, for your situation, all it sounds like is this post. Absolute pandering that just feels worse when you’re actually in a tough spot that words cannot fix.

I think many of them do, but there are also many “AI” tools that will automatically add a ton of stuff to try and make it spit out more intelligent responses, or even re-prompt the tool multiple times to try and make sure it’s not handing back hallucinations.

It really adds up in their attempt to make fancy autocomplete seem “intelligent”.

Of course there’s a technical reason for it, but they have incentive to try and sell even a shitty product.

I don’t see no 'a’s between those 'or’s for the full “ora ora ora ora” effect.

Using ‘he’ in a sentence is a far cry from the important parts of not anthropomorphizing “AI”…

You have to pay for tokens on many of the “AI” tools that you do not run on your own computer.

Exactly why this shit is and will never be trustworthy.

A tool of a person is a fool who is being used by someone else. They might not be useful to you, but to who ever makes the koolaid they’re drinking, they’re a very good tool.
