    Happy Linux user over here. Free open source AI models are becoming much more powerful, and things like “Apple Intelligence” and “Co-Pilot” will be looked back on like Netscape.

      Getting a free older computer from my work soon because it’s too old to “upgrade” to Windows 11 so I’ll be turning it into a Linux machine. Pretty dang psyched mostly for all the free software!

        Awesome, never get discouraged, there is much you can learn and do by switching to Linux. I personally use Linux Mint for everything, and I’ve never had any major issues. A lot of things are almost exactly the same as on Windows.

          I’ve heard of this distro and my brother was telling me about a way to try more distros without having to partition? (Idk all of this yet, still have a lot of work to do)

      The foundation for what sane and intelligent people use? Remember, Netscape basically became Firefox. ;) But I get what you’re saying.

      I hope you’re wrong about people looking back on Apple Intelligence with any feeling. I hope it’s forgotten. Copilot has made headlines with its spyware bullshit, it probably won’t be forgotten, and the Windows market share is too big. I mean people still bitch about Windows Vista (which wasn’t bad with SP1) and Windows 8 (again, 8.1 was fine). Hell, I beta tested Windows 8. Absolute garbage.

        Ask the average Gen Z about Netscape, they’ll have no idea what you’re talking about. It’s forgotten. Netscape used to be a big thing that was briefly in the spotlight like ChatGPT.
