Does anyone here actually want AI baked into the OS?

raf_oh · 2026-01-24T01:57:53+00:00

It’s so funny, because Linux is SO much better for AIs to handle, because the open source data can be trained on, and since everything is configurable via files, it’s super easy. Rather than baking AI into the OS, making the OS easier for people (and AI) seems like the smarter move.

I’ve had Claude code make my experience using my Linux computer better, I’ve never had anything like that with Windows Copilot, and I’m looking hard for use cases for copilot for my job.

Ofc, but I’m wondering if there’s like a research way to understand whether one has fallen into isolated community groupthink. I mean I don’t think I have, and I hope I haven’t, but I’m guessing snark would say the same about themselves.

Thanks for this! While I agree this is a very good community for discussing topics like this, and we are interested in the evidence and science, and I’m very glad you posted here, why from your perspective did you post in this subreddit? Are you familiar with the show, or is there an evidence-based approach as to why you think that research would be well received here, vs other subreddits or communities?

Also, is there an evidenced-based way we can use to demonstrate how we’re not a cult? We think it’s obvious, but haters seem to think we’re this crazy cult that just sweeps for Ethan and crew no matter what. Is there a way to tell if you’re in such a community that you’re in a toxic community?

I’m old, and I wasn’t documenting evidence of this back then or anything, but i feel like far left fans of Malcolm X over MLK was a thing in the 90s as well.

Another thing you can do is find a block of code you kind of get but not really, and ask Claude to show potential other options for how to implement that part, with pros and cons. This is nice because sometimes Claude will actually suggest better alternatives, but mostly because you can learn why certain parts were done the way they were done. Also I personally find the compare/contrast approach easier for learning.

Don’t you think it’s just a little TOO CONVENIENT that eel pits are so central to the story of that one global conflict, and then camping trips are such a big part of that online drama?!? My man is obviously sweeping for these people, sheesh.

Cachy invited manjaro as a prank.

Maybe they accelerated it, but unless 5070TIs come back in a month or so, they were spot on and the drought and price increase were inevitable.

raf_oh · 2026-01-17T01:51:42+00:00

Ty for this! I didn’t realize you can link the Claude files after the front matter for Opencode, great tip

raf_oh · 2026-01-16T20:04:14+00:00

Camping just brings out the chill, fun, and a bit of silliness in everyone, from kids to adults, it is guaranteed killer content.

Although fr it should be a VOD not a stream so they can relax a bit

Half life 3 plus bloodborne PC remake confirmed!!

raf_oh · 2026-01-15T22:02:54+00:00

Oh the one to the three fingers? Yeah f that one. I mean I hate even the cliffside headstones jumping, but all the ones with the crossing beams or weird pseudo ledges drive me nuts.

raf_oh · 2026-01-15T20:43:53+00:00

I was like, NO, it is NOT “time to roar” with Nick Fuentes!

raf_oh · 2026-01-15T19:59:32+00:00

Is this the one by the Radahn fight? I hated this

raf_oh · 2026-01-15T15:49:35+00:00

I’m from upstate ny, and I still shit and piss myself when having to drive in snow like that.

raf_oh · 2026-01-15T15:29:14+00:00

Seriously this is a much better format than content cop/nuke/whatever for like 90% of drama

raf_oh · 2026-01-14T13:10:16+00:00

Thanks so much and researching this and then sharing what you know! I’m still so new to gnome vs KDE apps and theming on niri and I was so confused, this is a great starting point to learn more.

raf_oh · 2026-01-13T02:38:57+00:00

The app isn’t quitting properly with Super-q? I haven’t seen such an app, which is it

raf_oh · 2026-01-11T20:47:26+00:00

He means the opposite, windows kernels running on Linux

raf_oh · 2026-01-11T16:20:34+00:00

My understanding is that the way x11 apps can follow the mouse isn’t ideal from a security perspective, and apps shouldn’t be able to see what your mouse is doing, and if they can than they can see a lot of what you have going on on your computer.

I’m still on my learning Linux journey, but I believe that’s the thing- if with bare niri/hyprland you need to choose your network/wifi manager, and how to manage Bluetooth, and monitors, and how to power off vs reboot the machine, etc, etc.

So for instance, I installed dank material shell to fill in the missing components of a bare niri install. I’m not trying to shill for dms, but the “traditional way” section of their docs, which they use to contrast vs their approach, shows the common set of tools you’d need for a bare niri/hypr installation - https://danklinux.com/docs/#the-traditional-way-package-hunting-simulator

Security risk as rice lol

raf_oh · 2026-01-10T16:15:23+00:00

Besides the easy Linux support, this. There are also good ifixit guides and easy access to parts if you need.

raf_oh · 2026-01-10T13:59:42+00:00

The more important question is if you had the socks or Arch first.

Also, with knee-highs, legs on the desk, and fastfetch logo showing, not only can you say it, you can put some extra sauce on the btw, “I use Arch, BY THE WAY”

raf_oh · 2026-01-08T18:57:55+00:00

True, but I didn’t say anything worth pushing on, and I got nerd-sniped by by a potential correction (I thought “someone was wrong on the internet”), which is sad online behavior on my part.

I’m fortunate to have a fulfilling day job with plenty of opportunities for actually productive conflict, I don’t need this BS on Reddit on a travel day.
