From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm on the low end with 8gb VRAM, that can partially run on GPU and system RAM. That makes it halway usable. I'm not an Ai guy at all and use it mostly to play around. Occasionally it can be used here and there for simple stuff like as you suggest for brainstorming, to extract text from images or translate them. And I also used it to help with programming here and there asking questions when being offline for a month, help refactor program code and functions just to see what can be done.
For anyone wanting to use it as a main tool and replacement of ChatGPT and the likes, they clearly need stronger hardware. I wish I had 16gb... this is extremely limiting. But token speed is at least often 17 tokens per second and sometimes over 50. That's about what I can do.
