• Is AI Becoming A Linux-Only Thing?

    I wondered why it was necessary to give Windows users “an environment
    that can easily deploy AI apps made specifically for Linux on Windows
    machines without dealing with a complicated setup process”, according
    to <https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/artificial-intelligence/asrocks-revamped-ai-quickset-wsl-virtualization-tool-makes-it-easy-to-run-linux-ai-apps-on-windows>.
    Are there that many Linux-specific AI apps?

    It appears there are:

    Making matters worse, most "cutting-edge" AI applications are
    typically optimized for Linux, making it even harder for Windows
    users to get these apps up and running in Windows (if at all).

    It looks like AI apps started out supporting Windows as well as Linux,
    but the trend seems to be moving to Linux-only:

    The original version of AI Quickset was only capable of
    configuring AI applications that were designed with either Windows
    or Linux in mind. AI Quickset WSL expands upon this and again
    allows users the freedom to run Linux-based AI apps on Windows,
    which is a huge deal if you dabble in AI models that are mostly
    regulated to the Linux space.
