Jun 27, 2026, 11:20 AM@scriptkiddie I just installed an "AI" package on one of my Linux machines yesterday, an expressive speech synthesizer called supertonic that can create WAVs that sound like a real human being. Ten standard voices, five female and five male ones. Not an LLM or agent or assistant or anything like that, but I still put it into a virtual environment for safety reasons. I also have a couple of open source LLMs running under GPT4All, but I rarely use them because I find chatbots rather boring and unproductive, except for the occasional silliness like generating some weird electronic dada poems.
So if you want to run your own AI on your own hardware, Linux is even better than Windows or MacOS or any other proprietary system.
