Beside DE and terminal commands , is there anything else I should try in a linux distro ?
Do you have a couple of machines or is your pc pretty good. Get into containerisation VMS, docker start running some self hosted services.
spin up a vm with i3wm and rice the shit out of it
Ask an LLM this
AI is a broad term that is mostly marketing fluff. I am talking about a language model you can run locally.
You can install Alpaca which is now an official gnome app and then download the Mistral model. Once it downloads you can ask it things about what to do with the OS. It all runs local so you need enough ram and storage. 8gb of ram and then a few gigs of storage
I’m indeed open to the idea if it’s locally hosted but ollama isn’t available in my country… I’ll search if there’s a LLM that isn’t an ollama fork
Try doing everything you would normally do with a computer and see how you would do it on linux.
Couple of things that might be useful:
- Setup remote desktop access using VNC/RDP. It can be useful to access your PC etc while using your phone or other devices. Or accessing a raspberry pi on your main PC
- Setup a virtual machine and install Windows in it. It might be a good way to think about migrating to linux as your main OS
- Steam. See how performance on Linux compares to Windows for your games.
