Ask HN: Who is going to build like “windows copilot” for Linux

Either KDE or GNOME. Nobody else has the ability to provide a similar level of desktop integration, especially in a post-x11 world.

I wouldn't expect a serious desktop Linux copilot offering until fully FOSS models are more commonplace and performant, anyways. You could easily make a half-assed tool that pipes it's output into the terminal (here's mine[0]) but it wouldn't be a very reliable or fast tool. There will be hundreds of "manage Linux with natural language" apps that just use OpenAI under the hood, but what you're really asking for is likely years away from being reality.

People misunderstand and miscategorize Linux

Linux is only just a kernel, it's used from microcontrollers to datacenters

A "linux copilot" doesn't mean anything without context

But I feel like you already got tricked by microsoft's marketing team, so I don't know what to tell you..

Linux is the experience you craft, not something sold with term of usage contract

Here's a discussion of Copilot for VS Code: https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2023/03/30/vscode-copilo...

Okay just load edge on Linux and use the sidebar. Done. Next?
