Does not sound like a Linux distro problem. Can you name any free software pieces that fit the description? If they exist, they're likely to be in a lot of distros' package repos already. I think I've tried some TUI chatbot with a small llama LLM recently, just out of curiosity. It was available in Arch repo by default. Can't remember the name though.

Every desktop Linux DE/distro comes with a calculator, a simple text editor, a file manager etc. Perhaps it's time to ship a sensibly-preconfigured AI tool alongside these to win more non-techie desktop/laptop users. I personally don't need anything pre-installed, I can pick Arch or even LFS, install and configure everything I need, also write my own AI tool for my needs. But non-techies (whom we need if we are sad about how little desktop Linux market share is) often can't even apt install anything. Everyone is using AI, Windows PCs are coming with AI, Macs are coming with AI and Linux is not. Many consumers are probably going to view this like an OS without built-in network support soon. At the same time shipping better AI tools with transparent, sensible and privacy-friendly defaults OoTB can attract those who are not happy with Microsft/Apple approach. This is a conceptual idea however - no, I can't name any specific free software. Perhaps it is yet to be written.
