How can I use a local LLM on Linux to generate a long story?

I'm interested in automatically generating lengthy, coherent stories of 10,000+ words from a single prompt using an open source local large language model (LLM) on low-spec hardware like a laptop without GPU and with i5-8250U, 16GB DDR4-2400MHz. I came across the "Awesome-Story-Generation" repository which lists relevant papers...

AlligatorBlizzard ,

I've won NaNoWriMo twice and I can confirm that writing your own does not necessarily result in a cool or coherent story. One of the two is likely better than an LLM could come up with, though.

Wait, there still isn't a Linux version of Notepad++? I'm kinda surprised by that.

What distro should I use on my potato?

I have an HP Stream 11 that I want to use for word processing and some light web browsing - I'm a writer and it's a lightweight laptop to bring to the library or coffee shop to write on. Right now it's got Windows and it's unusable due to lack of hard drive space for updates. Someone had luck with Xubuntu, but it's been a few...

AlligatorBlizzard OP ,

Someone else mentioned the browser issue so I went looking for what was available (and I'll probably try Firefox first), but I found Lynx, maybe that's what you're looking for?

AlligatorBlizzard OP ,

Not yet, I'll try live booting some of the suggestions like Lubuntu, AntiX, and Debian (probably LXDE) and see which one works the best. Debian is about as much of a challenge as I'm willing to take on for this project, but I figure I'll learn something at least, and if I do get it running it's probably going to be solid. If all else fails I'll look at a Puppy.

I'd been thinking about joining Mastodon and I hadn't decided which server to join, maybe I'll join this one? But the question of do I want to see Threads content is a big one - there's a few people I'd like to see, and there's a lot that I really don't.

A friend of mine did that with VHS, beta, cassettes, and 8tracks back in the day and got busted by the FBI.

They said that through the power of Christ all things are possible but I didn’t know that included time travel.
