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.

Specs for what?
The hardware you run it on will have a range of specs.
The model you try to use will have a bunch of measurements that can be called specs.
Once you pick some hardware, the measurements of the model you run on it can be adjusted for “accuracy” or speed.
Of course, the range of hardware that’s available to you informs that calculus.
The alternative to answering this post is to get a Mac mini or whatever they’re selling as a desktop llm device now and not mess around.
