I have this too on occasion! Although, I think I had this problem on another podcast player before I switched.

Works on the AMD Pro series GPUs and my 6800xt on Pop OS

Cheapest would probably be the Raspberry Pi/Orange Pi route.

I gave up trying to make an HTPC (using Kodi, ChimeraOS, etc). It wasn’t worth the hassle and ended up settling for an Apple TV.

Sure, you can use a VPN if you want to spin up the instance and connect to it without having a domain. You can always open the instance of Nextcloud to the internet later, when you buy a domain.

Get a cheap .XYZ domain if you just want to experiment with spinning up a reverse proxy.

I have an RX6800XT and I use KoboldCPP to run models I download off of Huggingface.

I’m not sure how many tokens per second it generates, probably about 10?

If you want to try it yourself here’s a link to the Github page: https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp

I don’t know what your - and your kid’s - situation is, but I worry pushing Linux onto someone would be counterproductive to getting them to like it.

I only use it because I genuinely like and appreciate it. I’d probably start by getting him interested in it. If he likes it enough then he’ll try and learn more by himself.

I recently got an LLM running locally on an AMD GPU. This was only possible on Linux. Depending on your son, something like that could be a cool way to get him interested.

How do you mean teach?

Just getting them to use it or teaching them terminal commands?

I like it. If you don’t mind exporting your bank transactions once a month and importing them then it should work just fine for you.

I always wondered why DMCA rubbed me the wrong way but couldn’t put it into words. This helped me pin down why. Thanks!

If you’re willing to self host Nextcloud then that could be a solution.

Currently I use it to sync my calendar on my phone and an instance of MagicMirror2.

What distro/software are you using?

There’s a small amount of telemetry going on.

Also, Pop_OS makes running an Nvidia GPU less painful.

Idk, it seems to be picking up steam. It’s what I use unless I’m trying to use something super lightweight.

For me it has the stability of Ubuntu without having to use Ubuntu.

Haven’t tried Debian yet though.

Let’s forget Linux and praise Linus then I guess.

I was so close to pulling the trigger on a Sony Xperia. Then I found out they only do 2 years of software updates.

Also, there were limited options for custom ROMS

Not a huge fan last time I used it

It’s an uncanny instinct I had as soon as I booted it for the first time. Can’t explain why, just did.
