News China's homegrown OS fires back at AI PCs — openKylin gets AI assistant, text-to-image generation, and local LLM support

[Admin]

Newest version of homegrown Chinese OS openKylin is "deeply" integrated with AI, but it's not clear if there are any performance requirements for CPUs/NPUs.

Personally, I would be more attracted by an OS if it had been labelled "AI-free".

I agree with this. IMHO, the OS should facilitate whatever you want but integrate less. You want AI? Download it as a separate pack. In that way you make the OS what you want it to be.

I do wonder on the long term chinese LLM....as they want it good(obviously) but they also cant let it become so good it starts producing stuff it blocks from the great firewall.
but again idk if i'd ever want an OS that is "deeply integrated" w/ "ai". (this current form of ai is a fad and it'll pass same as 3d tvs)

It's more like, "deeply integrated with the user interface" - people often aggregate the two, but running a modern OS with a barebone UI is perfectly possible - if not on Windows (AI integration in the cose OS has yet to be seen, they've barely managed to scratch the shell), at least on Linux - a modern kernel and a complete toolkit running on something as barebone as LXDE is perfectly viable.
