A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

This might be the trigger to move my parents computer to Linux too. They aren't technical, but damn sure don't want to pay for an os subscription.
Switch to mint, install what they use for them and they won't see the difference, except for less confusing popups
I think I may have sold my normie brother in law on Mint.
I'm still trying to decide on distros. I had originally considered Mint, then I learned it's a fork of Debian. Got any pros/cons for either?
I'm a linux noob still, i guess mint is focused on being user friendly while debian is focused on being stable and more lightweight. The installation process of mint is similar to windows it just takes half the time and you want to click yes on everything instead of no, once your done the cinnamon environment looks and feels alot like winxp.
Switched mine to Mint, no issues.
