    The beauty is that you never fully install the Gentoo you want. It’s about the journey and the friends we make along the way, not the destination.

        ollama.

        I’ve got a local llm model running on my steam deck just to see if it could do it.

        It can!

        … It is polite, but also somewhat limited… but at least it is honest about its limitations, I have not gotten it to hallucinate anything insane yet.

        Anyway yeah I think there are just docker images for ollama, you can install a friend (kind of) today!

          Oh man, Silly tavern with kobold is way better. I’ve been using the Omega models and boy oh boy I’ve never had more friends! Or such well fleshed out ones either!

              Silly tavern is a local fronted, can be used with api models from the internet as well. Highly modular, similar to character ai, but fully local. Would suggest messing with the themes if you know how theming works, its a tab bit dated in design, still amazing though.

      Or it is about the friends you loose after you have successfully installed Gentoo and now maintaining it.

      Fun aside: I used Gentoo for more than a decade (15 years?, idk). Since I am back on Debian stable, I don’t feel like I am missing out on stuff I want to try, because I don’t have to wait or solve useflag issues anymore. I still think, Gentoo is a solid distro, but I have other hobbies, too. If it were my sole job to maintain a Gentoo system I would do it. But I don’t want to deal with it anymore in my spare time.

        I’m confused. I also have many hobbies. That’s what compile time is for–big compiles are started just before bed time. Gentoo stays out of your way and gives you more freedom. I concede that I may just be lucky at not having any useflag issues in many years. But I also learned a lot from the first few I stumbled into. It’s this quality of learning I can’t find in any other distro.

        I love all non-windows OS tho
