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.

There was a post asking people their opinions about Edge and many people seemed to liked the idea of Edge and seemed to be ok having it on Linux (Blasphemy)

Also, can we all agree how fast Edge went from joke to a threat? I mean, it's good now alright! It was good back then, but it's better now. Money man!!! Money! Personally I hate MS, but I can't help but see the fact that there is no alternative to Bing GPT and many features Bing offers on Linux.

If there is an open source ChatGPT how would it look? Who would bear the costs? How would we solve the server problem? i.e., it would take a ton of server space and bandwidth. Just wondering.

I am pretty sure MS products will improve greatly due to their integration with GPT what do us poor folks on Linux do?

Just want to know the answers, I don't want to discuss (aka can't comment, I need to study), but just curious!

For images there are foss options that you can run locally, like stable diffusion which is so good that it rivals its proprietary counterparts.
But for text it's a horror, there are some you can try (see gpt4all), but in general chatgpt has no real competition; the foss options are currently very bad, and even the proprietary options from big corporations like bard or llama are pitiful.

but I can’t help but see the fact that there is no alternative to Bing GPT

Regarding this, there are other services that also use GPT for search, here a couple:
