lol its backed by ibm and will fail anyway.
I ran df -h and it wanted my credit card. lol.
That video bored 10 gallons of tears out of my eyes.
I just don’t get videos like…
Sometimes all that is needed is that a systems feels nice. And CachyOS feels nice, even despite the fact that I am a complete useless noob at at all.
I’ve been using linux for about 16 yrs, switched to arch and arch based distros about 3yrs ago. Aside from all the technicalities and experience, CachyOS does feel pretty good, has a good vibe to it.
My first thought was that that is… interesting. I’m all for trying radical approaches, (which is why I’ve at least tried Niri and Gnome 
) but that’s not a local LLM!
It also apparently uses your hardware for their inference, at least if you’re on the ‘free’ plan. Your computer becomes a brick if you run out of tokens and they get to use your electricity and hardware!
This is true of most ‘edge case’ questions - as with the Quora bot generating questions, the same occurring now with Youtub e. AI generates questions, answers them, then produces and publishes it’s own YouTube material.
Youtube is awful and in my opinion just like myspace will fall someday. Either way. I also got “sign in to confirm your not bot” eh forget it. If you see something on odysee that would be great to share. It probably won’t be on odysee though.
I find that YouTube channel leans into gatekeeping just a bit
(I’ve been a Linux user off-and-on since ‘92-’93)
Been on CachyOS almost a year 
Well, I don’t exactly use it directly for work (work only issues me a crap Windows 11 laptop), but since I can access a few things remotely, yes, sometimes my CachyOS desktop is far superior to my hobbled Windows laptop.
Take Python code development environment management as an example: CachyOS has already optimized my video card and kernel drivers, so it’s easier to use it for testing software packages which provides me raw performance benchmarks, not security-through-obscurity guesswork about performance on Windows with its many driver inconsistencies and uncontrollability. This matters a lot when attempting to build coursework which is dependable for instructors and students alike.
Or take gaming. CachyOS has pretty much everything ready to go for easy install of Steam and other platforms or games that support Linux. Things just work and stay updated thanks to good packaging and latest greatest stuff from Arch.
And yes, AI can be great for some things, but I’m not about to trust my daily driver desktop to AI so that it can lose critical files, screw up my financial bookkeeping, or lose all the family photos thru some chained deletion of both my local and remote backup setups.
I use CachyOS on two work computers and it’s been stable over the last 10 months. I haven’t updated one of them in MONTHS and besides the issue of having to do pacman -S archlinux-keyring FIRST or run into errors about non-existant pgp signatures it updated just fine.
^— @ptr1337 Fix this please and always have archlinux-keyring on top of the chain if it has an update 
CachyOS is incredible. I prefer an honest “blabla .so not found” by something I compiled myself to the dependency hell that .deb or .rpm seem to have. - And I prefer being able to compile anything without having to install special -dev packages. If I want to compile Dolphin from git, I can just do it. Awesome!
I’ve seen lots of linux distributions to be the hype (Slackware, SuSE, Mandrake, Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Manjaro) and used them all. They all have been replaced with a new hype because they made bad decisions that didn’t reflect what their users wanted. CachyOS might be different, because you have lots of choices how you can configure your installation. But only time will tell.
CachyOS feels so smooth and fast
The truth is that every Linux distribution depends on its developers. Less on the community around it. Even Debian can disappear if the main developers of the project leave and leave. The same goes for other “main” Linux distributions - Arch, SUSE, Red Hat, Gentoo…
So Linux distributions that disappear are not because they are satellites of some “main” distribution, but because their authors have tried, played around and finally got tired of it.
In the end, every Linux distribution, including the “main” ones, was created by someone, to distinguish themselves they made different package managers, and in the end the programs that are used are the same.
So anyone who understands programming and Linux can make their own distribution. If they manage to maintain it for, for example, more than 20-30 years, it will also become “main”.
I couldn’t get through the video.
I’ve seen other videos by that YouTube user, I think.
It seems like it’s just random clickbait if I remember correctly.
It’s not really convincing.
Also, predictions, in general are kinda silly because so easily they fail.
Also, hey, the distrowatch ACTUAL ratings aren’t on the distrowatch homepage. They are tucked away. Page hits does NOT equal popularity nor user satisfaction. The user satisfaction stats on distrowatch.org are here, I believe: DistroWatch.com: Put the fun back into computing. Use Linux, BSD.
( “distrowatch . com / dwres . php ? resource = ranking & sort=votes” )
You can sort the results by various criteria, but it’s based upon reviews and number of users NOT page hits. Page hits could include people researching problems as well as people just curious about what something is.
Nevertheless, CachyOS still gets good ratings and is in good company with other distros. It’s just internal Distrowatch ratings based upon what people submitted, it’s not like it’s pure science or democracy.
Manjaro ain’t too shabby either. But distros like Artix seem to get high ratings from their modest user bases. I’d say user satisfaction is a lot more important than page hit rank.
But again, I think the video is just boring clickbait.
It shows up in the same feed as the guy claiming that Linux was “bought and sold” (which isn’t true as a whole).
Oh… whilst you watched the video did it bring on a headache, you couldn’t work out if it was real or not? That’s called ‘cognitive dissonance’ and it tends to be a primary symptom of interacting with something that’s not real, but pretends to be real.
However, starting with the voice, and continuing by looking at the imagery - it should stand out to anyone that the whole show is pure AI slop, there is no ‘youtube user’ and if you just browse Youtube, or even search for subjects, you’ll find a lot of ‘questions’ have been answered by some AI generated video like this complete slop.
This video was just an AI hallucination, nothing more - no substance and no credibiltiy.
To take such a video as a starting point for a conversation is a really big problem, and it’s one of the reasons that YouTube will eventually be wiped out by AI… as with the Quora ‘prompt’ AI which scans for ‘interesting topics’ and asks vague questions, and then posts vague answers… there’s no value other than the clicks and interaction it generates.
If people are not bright enough, then AI will simply dominate their lives and lead them up the garden path.
Thanks for clarifying and for the fair friendly warning.
Unfortunately, now I’m more curious and wondering what video did I actually see? I might need to go back and double check. LOL The irony.
you could grab it with yt-dl and analyse it a bit more.
Last week I was watching one with a commentator and I noticed just during the first minute some very slightly odd facial expressions - eventually spotted some really bad glitches in the matrix.
But it doesn’t bode well - if AI improves this game, soon we’ll be more easily made to look stupid thinkingi it’s human content.
This really got me at first, the site is very well crafted, but this is satire! Just have a good look at the change logs.
