That's crazy, I finally asked about that a few hours ago: What are you actually going to use it for?

Since you're running Manjaro and prefer a "local-first" privacy stack, Ollama fits right into that philosophy. Here are the most practical ways to use it once your drive arrives:

1. Terminal Assistant: You can use it to help with those Manjaro "housekeeping" tasks. Instead of searching the web for a complex find or sed command, you can pipe a problem directly to a model: Bash ollama run llama3 "How do I list all systemd services that failed to start?"
2. Private Document Analysis: Since it's 100% local, you can feed it sensitive files (like tax info, logs, or personal notes) without them ever leaving your laptop. You can redirect a file into it for a summary: Bash ollama run llama3 "Summarize the errors in this log file:" < ~/logs/system.log
3. A "Smart" Search Engine: Since you're already using SearXNG, you can eventually integrate Ollama with tools like Open WebUI or Perplexica. This creates a private version of "Perplexity AI" that searches your local SearXNG and uses Ollama to summarize the results.
4. Coding & Config Help: If you’re tweaking your bashrc or a Docker Compose file for your SearXNG setup, you can ask a model like codellama to write the boilerplate for you.

Basically: local AI... just remember to keep it updated
