No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

You need a GPU for any kind of performance.
For text I suggest: Ollama backend - command line interface, very easy to download models with one line of code. Supports most models and you can talk with the model inside the terminal so it's stand alone OpenWebUI - easy install with docker and is meant to work easily with ollama. Comes with web search features and uploading pdfs. A bunch of different community tools and modules are available.
For img I suggest either: Automatic1111 - Traditional UI using gradio. Lots of extras you can download through the UI to do different things. ComfyUI - Node based UI, a bit more complicated but more powerful than automatic1111
For models, you can go on civitai and just download whatever you need and drop it into their respective folders for both auto and comfy.
For text, there's also LMStudio which is very user friendly. It is closed source and much slower than ollama from my experience though. I have a 4060 in my laptop (8gb VRAM) and I'm getting an image every 2 secs about using stable diffusion 1.5 models and text speed is on par with chatgpt with the smaller 8b-9b model. For text I suggest gemma2 which is probably the best small model out right now.
