Meta’s llama models are generally open. In fact Meta is the main megacorp that’s driving open-source AI right now. Everyone else keeps their models proprietary.

culturally they either serve others or expect to be served
As an Indian it’s amazing how you perfectly hit the nail on the head considering how limited your exposure has been. Most Indians themselves never realize this tendency of theirs throughout their lives.
Downvoted for truth. Too bad for them this isn’t reddit
AI art tools democratize art by empowering those who weren’t born with the affinity, talent or privilege to become artists themselves. They allow regular people the freedom of expression in new dimensions. They are amazing.
They are not made to replace human art. They are made to supplement it. The “artists” who feel threatened and offended at its existence are probably not very good at their art.
Debian bookworm (12) ships with version 525, so that’s all you’ll get officially.
Debian bullseye (11) is the one that comes with version 470. So clean-installing that is the best bet.
Or you can try to download a driver package from Nvidia’s website and try to manually install it in an overcomplicated process that involves patching your kernel with dkms. In my personal experience this almost always breaks things and is not recommended.
This is one of the drawbacks with Debian’s “stability”. Every stable version of Debian is a standalone, monolithic bundle of software that rarely allows for version changes.
If possible I’ll suggest you shift to Mint. It comes with a dedicated GUI driver manager for installing and switching multiple driver versions.
Yeah there are lovely solutions for everything if you can self-host, but the general crowd only has standalone websites hosted by some brave pirate captain.
With regard to ebooks, a clean Kindle-friendly website that immediately downloads the .azw3 file for any book selected.
No, though it is weird that you feel like you should ask such nonsensical questions in public forums.
What does it have over base Arch?
It’s Pichai’s handiwork from what I understand. He was in charge of it before becoming CEO according to Wikipedia.
Hey, they at least prioritise contributing upstream. Canonical is much worse.
The article is not at all answering the headline
Yes indeed, Sir. Your generation was the only Enlightened one, everyone younger than you is just a reel-addicted monkey incapable of reading.
We are not in want of such solutions, Lutris and other existing solutions are capable of making game-specific environments already. The main problem is having enough volunteers to painstakingly run, test and submit the exact dependency parameters for each game that makes it run correctly. Same will be the issue even if we shift to Nix or anything else. The problem is manpower scarcity, not lack of tech.
Microsoft plays just like it has always played - with OEM contracts and being the default OS choice. Linux remains niche as long as Microsoft has this, unless they decide to roll out a mainstream distro themselves.
It’s not just to start an argument. I have tried so, so hard to shift to Linux. Nuked perfectly working setups just to take the jump to the “free” side (including Arch, btw).
It all only ended in frustration and disappointment. So everytime people toot “year of the Linux desktop” it only makes me laugh.
Some apps? “Very few” apps? Buddy, you either aren’t running much software at all or are delusional. Entire Desktop Environments to this day have ass fractional scaling that can’t render things correctly without eating up resources and making them look horribly blurry. Fonts look terrible and have bad kerning even with all anti-aliasing settings correctly set. Even colors are dull across the board by default. Not to mention there will always be random glitches and your graphics card fan will always be on full power unless you turn it off because of shit throttling even with official Nvidia drivers.
Just try using browsers and file managers between Linux distros and Windows on default settings on medium-tier, 5-year-old machines side-by-side, the difference will be starkly visible - from responsiveness and animations to general look quality.
Have you guys fixed your graphics stack to keep up with current High-DPI and HDR displays yet? No? LOL happy new year of the eyesore desktop to you too
It’d be better if they went after literally every other AI corp than Meta in this case. Meta is the only one that’s ironically releasing open-source models and leading the way for open-source LLMs. I don’t want Meta to stop doing this.
