vocalinux is solid if you want free and open source. i'm the dev of Wspr, its also local whisper but uses bigger models by default so accuracy is way better out of the box, hotkey to type into any app, wayland works fine too. one time price though, not free, worth it if the tiny model results are the dealbreaker. I absolutely abuse this thing everyday non stop. I use the Large-Turbo model for pretty much instant transcription. https://getwspr.com/

    Whichever way it’s pronounced, Konqi drove me crazy as it was crashing my Plasma desktop upon login sending me back to SDDM, and of course didn’t log the reason for the crashing just that it was doing it. Fun fact, you can’t uninstall Konqi without uninstalling plasma desktop which made the troubleshooting even worse.

    Had to purge all my KDE related packages and start from scratch.

    Pretty much.

    The scene used to be a group of highly talented researchers, but now it is just a bunch of noobs using LLMs and writing hacks they don't even understand. Slop kiddies found the only hypervisor bug left, which I had also found a while ago, and decided to report to Sony.

    I asked them to at least wait for GTA 6 to come out so that people would have the opportunity to legally purchase the game and also enjoy linux. They agreed to wait, but not a day passed and they decided to waste it instead."

    Like any sort of jailbreak or homebrew, the dev relied on a bug in the PS5 code to install Linux. The script kiddies ruined it all by reporting the bug and presumably getting it patched out by Sony.

    I don't know the mechanics of how this project uses said bug, but I would assume the entire project is dead in the water for any new OS updates for the PS5. Unless someone finds a new bug to exploit, only people who didn't update their PS5 can still install the Linux project.

    Could someone elaborate for me, as I'm not super hip on this project...

    It kind of reads like one of the contributors narc'd on the project and closed an avenue they were using to get linux functionality going?
