Now is a great time to give Linux a shot. I recommend Pop! OS.

[–] mofongo@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Does pop os also have a copilot?

[–] Massada42@lemmy.world 43 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No. However, it also lacks ads.

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.

[–] mofongo@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ok that sounds awesome do you know any open source copilot projects by chance?

[–] Nioxic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Theres paid ai .. like this

Give commands to chatgpt in the the terminal. Then it executes it. It can generate files, etc as well. Using python iirc.
