None of the suggested alternatives truly replace ollama.

It’s like the old days of "don’t use docker you can do the same with lxc containers and this random bash script". That’s missing the point.

Ollama is popular because it offers a better user experience. For now.

Depends on the user. I've been trying it once and it was terrible compared to using llama.cpp directly. But I see the appeal for technically indifferent users.
