Arch

🐧 AI Control on Arch Linux

1. AI in the Shell

  • Shell-GPT (sgpt) → An Arch package in the AUR:

    yay -S shell-gpt

    Lets you type things like:

    sgpt "find all .mp4 files larger than 1GB and delete them"

    → It will generate and (if you approve) run the correct Bash command.

  • Aider (GitHub) → AI pair-programmer that edits files directly in your repo. AUR package:

    yay -S aider

  • ChatGPT in the terminal (several AUR packages):

    • chatgpt-cli
    • gpt4all (local model, no OpenAI key needed)

2. Local AI Models (No Cloud Needed)

Arch makes it easy to run local LLMs for full privacy + offline AI:

  • Ollama (ollama-bin in AUR):

    yay -S ollama-bin

    Run models like LLaMA 3, Mistral, Gemma locally. Example:

    ollama run llama3 "Write a pacman command to update the system"

  • GPT4All (gpt4all in AUR): desktop app for local models.

3. Voice & Assistant AI

  • Mycroft-core (still in AUR):

    yay -S mycroft-core

    Gives you a voice assistant for Arch.

  • Jasper (manual install via GitHub) → lightweight voice assistant using STT/TTS + AI models.

4. AI Agent Control of Arch

  • LangChain + Python → You can make an “AI Arch controller” that runs commands safely.
  • AutoGPT / CrewAI (install via pip) → autonomous AI agents that can manage tasks on Arch.
  • Combine with systemd services so the agent is “always on,” managing tasks like updates, backups, or monitoring.

✅ So yes: you can turn Arch into an AI-controlled system today. The fastest way is:

  1. Install Ollama for local models.
  2. Install Shell-GPT for AI command generation.
  3. Add a voice layer like Mycroft-core if you want voice control.
