How to run LLMs as regular guy with low resources?

Excerpt

Hello everyone. I hope is all well with you all. I been around this sub for a few months and been quietly reading and I have seen how many of you are spending $10k on the Mac M5 and I am assuming you are using it for work or just for fun but have the resources to spend like that. I am a regular guy with a 9-5 job and I would like to experiment with local LLMs but I dont have much disposable income to spend big amounts on GPUs or Macs. I currently have an I7 - 8700 and Nvidia 2060 6Gb VRAM - 32GB
