Now is a great time to give Linux a shot. I recommend Pop! OS.
Does pop os also have a copilot?
No. However, it also lacks ads.
Double bonus!
You really, really don't need an AI assistant for regular computer usage. It's a solution in search of a problem.
There are genuinely good reasons to use GitHub Copilot if you're a developer, but otherwise, I think they're way more trouble than they're worth.
I mean I could see myself giving copilot some prompts when doing office stuff, like styling and formatting.
This should really simplify office usage especially for people who only use it sparingly and then don’t remember every function.
No Linux distro has, as M$ hasn't made their AIs open source. But there are people working on open source alternatives.
Ok that sounds awesome do you know any open source copilot projects by chance?
Not open source but free; https://codeium.com/
Not open source, paid; https://www.tabnine.com/
FOSS; https://github.com/THUDM/CodeGeeX2/blob/main/README_EN.md

Give commands to chatgpt in the the terminal. Then it executes it. It can generate files, etc as well. Using python iirc.
Looks really cool! Thanks for the suggestion
