I'm completely new to Linux—I've yet to download it! I'm planning to dive in soon, once I grab a USB drive. I'm really motivated by what PewDiePie did with his "Council of AI" and I want to create my own AI system and search engine. However, even after watching his video multiple times, I'm still unsure about where to begin. Are there any step-by-step tutorials or guides available that can help me through this process?

Before you dive in, it's smart to have a backup plan. Get your hands on a USB drive to install Linux but also have a working Windows installation ready just in case. Installing Linux is pretty straightforward: download an ISO, use Rufus or balenaEtcher to create your bootable USB. For most distros like Ubuntu, just grab the ISO and follow the prompts.
Building your own AI can be a challenge! Start by understanding Linux fundamentals before diving into AI specifics. If you want to dual boot, keep a Windows USB handy, just in case. There are great guides out there for different Linux distributions, and many basic resources available online for getting started with AI.
Hey, don’t worry! It’s great that you have a vision. If you’re still using Windows, give Ollama a shot—it’s an easy way to experiment with AI without needing a complex setup. Also, keep in mind you'll need some decent hardware, especially if you're planning to run bigger models. Just take it step by step and get familiar with Linux first.
It’s awesome that you want to dive into AI! Just a heads-up, if you haven't even got a USB stick yet, there’s a bit of a journey ahead. But don't worry! Start by getting a Linux distribution like Mint or Fedora, which are user-friendly. After that, look up some tutorials on running AI models. Tools like Ollama are great for beginners and can help you figure out how your system handles AI tasks. Don't rush; it's a learning curve!
I’d recommend taking a slow approach. First, get the hang of Linux—Mint is beginner-friendly and it’s what PewDiePie used in his early video. Experiment with AI using Ollama; it works on both Windows and Linux. For running effective AI models, you'll want more VRAM—2-4GB for light models and even more for complex ones. Pace yourself with learning!
Absolutely! Starting with the basics is key. Once you're comfortable with Linux, look into more advanced AI tools and setups.
