You could also use LM Studio, but I've heard it's not as fast as Ollama, so if you have limited resources on your machine, installing Ollama is a decent shot.
Prefer downloading 7b, 3b or 1b models if you are using resource-limited hardware.

You still need to run some commands on openSUSE, like installing codecs, but you'd have to use the command line on Ubuntu anyway if you want to enable hibernation (hard).
If you're tech-savvy (and you likely are if you use Linux), consider using something like openSUSE over Ubuntu by default.

openSUSE provides faster startup times and superior Windows-like KDE environment. It also offers an easily accessible hibernation feature, unlike Ubuntu. Perfect for people like me who frequently face blackouts due to Russia bombing energy infrastructure in Ukraine. Resume times are also fast.

So, when should you use the word "democratization"? There's no point in throwing it around carelessly. It's like claiming your product is high-quality—let people decide for themselves if your process or product is democratic, high-quality, or anything else. That's the point of democratization!

Ironically, I often hear "democratization" used by corpos, not open-source—when it’s open-source that’s supposed to democratize programming. Conversely, it's also true that some open-source projects are appallingly less democratic than corporations that don’t exploit the word "democratization."

When a company claims to be "democratizing" something, it kind of contradicts the very nature of the word. However, democratization can happen through open-source initiatives or even within corporations—there's no inherent conflict between the two, as long as this process comes from the bottom.

Expecting AI to "democratize" programming is like expecting a king to "liberate" his peasants. AI is powerful and can empower individuals, but we need to recognize that it’s not necessarily conducive to democratization, so we shouldn’t confuse these concepts.

Democratization happens naturally when people exercise their will. The truth is, people already have the agency to do this! The key idea is that it’s not something handed down from above—it must come from the bottom up, not from any entity at the top, like an AI company.
