ofc I could even send raw api requests, but sometimes it’s good to have a nice GUI that “just works”.

Specifically I’m looking for something that could handle not only text responses, but also attachments, speech recognition and MCP support.

Taking advantage of the fact that this thread became popular, question to all of you guys: do you recommend some other open source LLM front ends?

As long as they are free and open source, I don’t care.

For start definitely Linux Mint. It is stable, has strong support, works out of the box.

What exactly did he say wrong, because I don’t get it?

Honestly, a few years ago when ChatGPT was becoming popular, I thought it would be much more common by now to be able to talk to characters in games. Yet here we are in 2025 with existing, quite good voice assistance technology and gaming world does not seem to be particularly interested

Thanks, that might be helpful. Is this bug related to VirtualBox installation or Raspberry Pi?

Have you reported this bug somewhere? It might be a good idea to let nixos team know this problem occurs

For now I use Mint + etckeeper + Timeshift as a form of backup, but I have never had a courage nor need to “try it” and actually restore state 😆

My dream is to have entire operating system state stored as configuration, tracked by a git repo. To be able to know exactly what changed when, to revert back to whatever state I want and quickly copy setup from one device to another. So naturally NixOS caught my attention. I tried it before, once on Virtual Box VM and once on Raspberry Pi and I failed with installation of it on both of them, my weekend was too short :D It was a few years ago, it might get better now.

Why do everyone emphasize the fact that it is Rust based? What difference does it make? Personally, I don’t care whether it’s written in Rust, Cobol or Brainfuck. Badly written software would be buggy no matter the language.

Pretty good article, went into some technical stuff, which surprised me as in Linux world I’m used to articles discussing changes in wallpapers between different distro releases :D

Can anyone ELI5 why it’s bad? Apart from contributior being Microsoft
