I came from deskview and then OS/2

Slackware

For sure. I worked in IT for a long time. After we switched from the mainframe to os/2 I ran it for a decade on my desktop while the company went to Windows. Then once I couldn’t run os/2 anymore due to newer hardware I switched to Linux. Ran it from the late 90s until my retirement 5 years ago.

I had to support it all myself but they let me since I was also the security guy and they realized that Windows sucked.

It’s for whatever you want to use it for. Personally I use it continuously. Googling and just getting a bunch of links to shift through is a waste of time and money.

Oh yeah. Probably more.

Nobody said that about nfts. Maybe s couple of foolish kids and shysters but nobody ever took them seriously.

Or possibly it will help us solve the energy issues. It’s already lead to some revolutionary discoveries in propulsion and many other areas. It really is far more than something to chat with and to think otherwise is just silly. I use it to to code, brainstorm and developer with. Al systems can process massive amounts of data, recognizing patterns and improving their performance over time. This has helped things like the medical field immensely. Especially with early detection of cancers etc. Trying to be a luddites won’t stop it. Might as well embrace and extend it for the betterment of all.

Just ask it to provide links to back up it’s answers

I didn’t use it for those things but I do use it every day for a multitude of tasks. For myself I use it far more than Google itself.

People said the same things about the Internet when it came out and calculators before that
