Except for the fact that it can be dangerously unsanitary. At my store we sometimes throw produce into the same bag that our bathroom trash gets emptied into. There are toilet paper rolls that were used to clean syringes in there and everything.
Not to mention sometimes the syringes themselves...
If you have to eat that way I get it, but that should be last resort.
You're probably looking for an abliterated model. Be sure you can run it, first, as localhosting models needs high VRAM. You'll want RAM, too, in the case of GGUF models.
I'd have to write a whole half a book here to explain how to use them, but that information is freely available online. If you don't have a beefy GPU, look into how to host GGUF models.
I agree. Too much handholding for me, imo. However, if I had a Steamdeck I might use it just for simplicity sake. If I wanted an immutable distro for my desktop I'd choose NixOS, tbh, but that's on the opposite end of the complexity spectrum from Bazzite.
This. I mained Arch for 2 years and still can't be completely trusted with sudo. Moved to Nobara, would recommend as well. Its a bit more advanced, but you don't have to touch the command line if you don't want to and setup is right there step-by-step when you first boot.
I did try Bazzite first. I just couldn't get used to living the Flatpak life. I know you can force install native packages, but at that point why wouldn't I just use Nobara, lol.
I see a lot of "just accept the gift" here, but that's a rough choice. If you accept the gift, then you would be expected to use it over the one that you like. Your wife may even go so far as to throw the other one away (depending on what it is). So I don't think accepting the gift was ever an option.
It really is a hard spot to be put in, and I would have probably done the same thing in your position, even though I hate denying gifts. The whole premise of gifting is flawed, imo, at least where I'm from. To me, the one being gifted is put more on the spot than the one gifting. I hate getting gifts for this reason.
So maybe this. Explain why you like the one you use better, but that you're very happy with the gift. Ask her if it's okay if you keep that gift as a backup if your first one breaks and store it by the first one "just in case". Its never bad to have two of something.
Friend saw 'convenience' and that was it. No more reading, only fists. I thought I was quite neutral. Yes, convenience. I have been known to use a local LLM based on recipes to give me ideas what I could make based on my pantry.
I have a lovely recipe for absolutely delicious chocolate-chip cookies that use pancake mix.
Agreed. Probably where it should have stayed in the first place. Not that its not interesting, just that the scope of AI has widened beyond what it should have.
If I had to make a guess, I say it probably will. The convenience of AI is probably here to stay, but the craze of replacing everything with AI will go out the door.
AI will become exactly what it should have been in the first place: an assistant. Not your friend, not your doctor, not your therapist, not a replacement for artists/authors/programmers, and not inside every piece of tech post 2025. It has a place. That place is over-embellished right now, not to mention unsustainable.
Don't forget Lutris. It may take a bit more tinkering than Steam, but if you have loose games or use multiple games launchers, Lutris can combine them all into one neat and tidy launcher.
To be honest, I've only read the first three. I was very happy with how it left off and my gf says that the other two are hard reads. I still make sure she doesn't spoil anything, but I'm unsure if I want to leave it where it is and be ignorantly happy, or read further and see what happens.
Darrow from the Red Rising series. I think he fits the bill a bit, but he does flip flop between hero, anti hero, and villain, so maybe not a complete fit.
