I find it almost funny how hostile the response is when a company actually goes through the effort of supporting Linux. Apparently shipping the Linux version is only step one, you also need to pick the right framework, use the right packaging, consume the right amount of RAM, and preferably rewrite it natively.

HN comment quality took a nosedive recently, You can predict the comments just based on the story, almost all of them cynical and snarky remarks. It used to be a place to come and learn from technical experts.

A challenge of releasing tech on a platform of people that are picky about tech.

Spinning this as a generous Linux port misses the elephant in the room: This is spyware that drags your system down to the level of Windows.

How magnanimous: they make the effort to support the OS their entire company is based on? It's not just for training the model and hosting them: it's also to run them, where they constantly use Linux to do their thing.

Without Linux, there's no OpenAI.

So I take it the Linux community should be so grateful that OpenAI supports Linux, right?

It’s almost like we Linux users are opinionated about software. Weird. /s
