Both Ubuntu and Fedora have made it official: support is coming soon for running local generative AI instances.

An epic and still-growing thread in the Fedora forums states one of the goals for the next version: the Fedora AI Developer Desktop Objective. It is causing some discontent, and at least one Fedora contributor, SUSE’s Fernando Mancera, has resigned.

    I switched from Kubuntu to CachyOS last week, after 10 years or so. CachyOS is based on Arch, and did not disappoint so far, extremely fast, makes Ubuntu look old and sluggish. It’s really impressive. The basic installation was easy. The GUI package manager isn’t as polished but works. A little bit of terminal tweaking was required to install some packages (VMM and KRDC gave me some trouble) but the documentation was ok. Absolutely can recommend.

      Cachy is a nice mix of latest and stable. Still recommend Debian for work, but Cachy is great if you want something that just works

        I’ve used PikaOS which is Debian based and IMHO it’s right up there with CachyOS. super fast install, fast distro, great package manager, and repos with the latest stuff. very stable too.
