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

No Linux distro has, as M$ hasn’t made their AIs open source. But there are people working on open source alternatives.

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. However, it also lacks ads.
