HOW DOES IT WORK FOR YOU PEOPLE?!
Istg on windows, I can't get codex app, new chatgpt or chatgpt classic to work without hanging on even a moderately sized chat. I tried all of the different tricks people recommended but that shit just crawls. It was stable at some point, classic that is, but then it started being a laggy mess.
I've uninstalled new chatgpt/codex app. I can't access phone chats on it, I can't use the desktop allocated chat messages on it. I have to use up codex limits. I am so surprised that OpenAI ships that hot garbage on windows.
Windows has never felt more archaic than now. I can't imagine trying to do work on a Windows machine in the age of LLMs.
If there is anything that LLMs are rock solid at these days, it's unix terminal usage.
Mac Neo can be had for $600 now, and it runs Codex incredibly well!
But even on the Windows machine, if you Tailscale into a free tier VM for the workloads, you'd probably have a much better time.
Just leave Codex itself on your machine, if you set up computer use it will happily set up all of this for you while you have lunch.
