For those confused like me, this is unrelated to the popular terminal emulator called Terminator [1]. Confusing choice of name IMHO.

- Project mention: YouTube downloaders (and how Google silenced the press) | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-09-19
Didn't know about https://stacher.io/, will take a look.
On my favorites YouTube downloaders with UI, I have:

Alpaca is in the Pop!_shop (what is called the store on most other distros) so it's just a matter of clicking install. Inside it it has a list of several models, I downloaded a small model, but even a small model is very big, 4 Gigs. Some are over 100GB. When one is downloaded just click on new chat.

GPT4ALL on the cinnamon mint box I first installed Easy Flatpak then installed it from there. That I had a little different goal, I had a lot of pdf and epub books I wanted to index. I downloaded a small model again, a 4.34G Llama 3 8B Instruct. In the local docs I put one pdf 'Github for Dummies' and asked it to index. It took about 30 minutes IIRC. (don't start with too many, it could be days indexing. You can add docs later and re-index so you can build your database slowly) Then instead of looking up in the book how to revert a commit, you chat with the model and ask it how to revert a commit.
My take is the model is the human language interface for queries, and that's all. Bear in mind almost everyone knows more about this me, I just wanted to see what all the fuss was about.
You can also do similar what I did with gpt4all online for free as long as you have a google account. Go to notebooklm dot google dot com and start uploading your documents.

How deep did you look into it? Don't be misled by maybe your manufacturer not supporting Linux directly. As an example https://github.com/berarma/oversteer helped me to set up my wheel better than any rubbish windows OEM software could have.

I use a similar tool, Gradia.

The border can look nice in certain settings, the annotation tools are handy for drawing attention to specific elements. It has the ability to hide/mask things too. All wrapped in a nice intuitive interface.

I'm using Universal Blue now (Aurora, i.e. KDE flavour) and I'm very happy with it. With its large amount of pre-installed packages and drivers (including proprietary ones), I still didn't need to install any custom package (rpm-ostree) or otherwise modify the OS config (except for turning off SELinux in /etc/sysconfig/selinux). It's the most pragmatic distro I've used so far.
SaveDesktop[0] (saves flatpak apps and DE configs) and mise-en-place[1] (declarative shell environment manager) are making my installation backupable and quite reproducible (not to NixOS standards though).
For software that's not in flatpak, docker or mise, toolbox and distrobox are available for the rescue. Both work really well (toolbox is better for CLIs, distrobox for GUIs), but all atomicity/declarativity is lost.
