Hopefully the distros integrate ollama or similar so users don’t have to think about it. And it all runs locally.
Anything like that should absolutely be left up to the user. The distro should not decide that for you. If you want it, install it and set it up yourself.
I dont see any harm in including support for running models built into the distro and then providing easy access to a pre-selected list of models to use with that if the user wants.
Finish the transition from X to Wayland?
I’m not a super-savvy user. Can someone explain to me why I should care about X vs Wayland? Everything seems to work with X, and as I’ve just read, many programs don’t support Wayland. So will this transition just lead to lots of broken software once someone decides they won’t ship with X by default anymore?
Wayland is basically the direct successor to X11. It basically fixes tearing, makes HDR possible, makes scaling way better, and is all-round just better prepared for the future. I’ve been using it for years without much trouble. The only issues I keep having are scripts which expect x11-specific tools to be there, but that seems to be quickly solving itself while people realize that x11 is quickly loosing support. If you want to try it, I recommend setting up a fresh installation of a distro with KDE, Gnome, Sway, or Hyprland, just to make sure all the right dependencies are installed.
Wayland is nothing like X and definitely isn’t a successor
