  • If it’s not insisting, it’s demanding, which is worse.

    There are many tools now that replace X11 behavior. If Wayland doesn’t “do what they need”, at this point there’s a strong chance they have not put in any effort into making it work for them.

    For desktop forwarding there’s waypipe.

    For tablet users, KDE (And probably gnome) have pretty good tablet support at this point.

    For artists, KDE JUST got much better color calibration and HDR support.

    For gamers, WINE now has an experimental Wayland-native mode, and barring that we have Gamescope to make it behave semi-native (so this one is more of a future-ish solution that you can use now).

    Screen recording mostly just works with pipewire and almost everything supports it now including Discord.

    Etc.









  • Looking forward to seeing your work - it’s always good to have competitors, and gpt4all is also very crashy. If you have a lead in stability, I’d definitely use yours over theirs.

    Some other areas you could probably look into if you want to differentiate are:

    • Getting Started experience - recommend some high quality models and update the list as time goes on. Maybe include a good default one as part of the package.

    • Convenience - include a way to do what the modern chat interfaces do where asking it to do something other than text will call a different AI model built for that purpose and return the result (image generation, etc)

    • Voice conversations - Can we actually talk to the dang thing?

    • Assistant module - piggybacking off of the last one, can we invoke it with a wake-word or a button press and have it “always available” (similar to HomeAssistant with a Whisper plugin, but on-device).

    Anyway, I wish you well in your endeavor and will keep an eye out.

    EDIT: looks like the conversational bits are on your roadmap, and you do have some basic suggestions on startup.

    As for voice, the OpenWhisper module might fit your project’s theme a bit closer than elevenlabs.
