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.

Which specs are as low as reasonable possible for local LLM models? Do you recommend some distro in particular? (lemmy.ml)

There are no lower or upper bounds for local LLMs. Just get the best GPU/RAM combo you can with your budget. Some laptops also have NPUs that are dedicated specifically to AI iirc

Thanks. What about NVidia vs AMD? Should I go with AMD if cheaper?

AMD has better Linux support if you plan on using it
