You shouldn't use Ollama as a beginner either. It comes with crazy begginer-hostile defaults out of the box.

  Hmm? I would argue against that line of argumentation. It is ridiculously easy to start out of box and working. Once the user starts moving against obvious restrictions resulting from the trade-offs in defaults, they can move on to something more custom. Woulnd't that be the definition of beginner friendly? I am biased since I effectively started with Ollama as my main local llm so take this response for what it is. Still, you got me curious. Which defaults you consider hostile ( not disagreeing; this is pure curiosity )?

      It is infamous, but does it really stop anyone from exploring it. Granted, I am an anecdote, but flawed as it is, I would personally argue that the imposed limits are perfectly fine for someone, who is just starting. After all, those can be changed once you get your bearings.
