I wish you luck with SearXNG, I don’t know if I used the wrong instances or what but I didn’t find the results i got that great. However that is the reason people say you should host you own instance. Hopefully it works out I really enjoy the idea of hosting my own instance

I have thought the same thing after about three years or so of using DDG, I’ve been using Qwant as of late and seem to get much better results

I honestly am not sure on the privacy of it but if you really need a useful tool that’s ai driven I tend to trust perplexity.ai for general questions and research but I agree with one of the others just run ollama if you can

I was using bazzite on my Rog ally and it was a great experience, recently swapped it to cachy to try out and its been alright just a little bit harder to set up initially imo. I don’t think I would consider bazzite as my main since it’s fedora based but everyone has their own opinions and experiences. This is in no way hate for bazzite it really is a great os
