Linux Just Got Smarter: Introducing Newelle AI Assistant for GNOME!
In this video, we're diving into Newelle — a powerful new AI assistant built natively for the Linux GNOME desktop. If you've ever wished for something like Microsoft Copilot or Google Gemini on Linux, but open-source, private, and customizable — this is it.

???? Newelle is NOT just another AI chatbot.
It's a full-blown assistant that integrates deeply with your Linux system. It can:
???? Run terminal commands using natural language
???? Work with ANY LLM — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Mistral, Groq, even your own 100% local models
???? Chat with documents & scrape websites
???? Use voice commands with Whisper, TTS, STT, and even multilingual support
???? Host "Mini Apps" — like an entire ecosystem of AI-powered tools, built with Python & GTK
⚙️ In this complete walkthrough, I’ll show you:
✅ How to install and set up Newelle using Flatpak
???? How to unlock advanced features safely (terminal access, file manager)
???? How to use mini-apps for web browsing, file editing, and more
???? My honest thoughts after using it extensively
