Given the fact that one can control damned near everything over command line in linux, and command line is a much more stable interface than a gui, I'd guess that there's a great deal more potential for assistants in linux than windows.
The other day I wanted to figure out how to turn my dock red if I dropped the vpn in gnome. I found the file that controlled my wireguard gnome shell extension and with the help of gpt3.5 and some very rudimentary js knowledge (I'm a backend dev, don't hate me), I was able to add a js function to toggle the color on vpn up / down events. This didn't even take me an hour to do and I'd never even thought to try it before GPT.
Sure, things are janky now, but the future potential of LLMs with linux and OSS is huge.
Recently came across https://www.warp.dev/ on HN, which includes a AI part for your terminal. That's a paid feature running nonlocal, but it's a start I suppose.
