I have been trying to use Linux for desktop since 1994. Always came back to Windows after some disappointment. This time I am really annoyed by the Windows 12 HW requirements and also the aggressive cloud and AI push, so I got a MacBook. But it's really hard to get used to that different keyboard. Struggling with it since a year now. Sometimes I think Windows 11 with disabling all the cloud and AI presets would have been the best option.
Current LLM's are just based on statistics how often a word follows another, so there is no concept or culture behind it.
I think the main motivation is to have state of the art tech without sensitive data flowing to USA, (remember the wiretapping of Merkel).
My most productive days of using smartphone were during the blackberry form factor era: less display real estat to distract me from thinking, fast phisical input form to enter anything that's on my mind. Am I really such a negligible minority that there's no market for that anymore?
