I know of AerynOS and Chimera Linux but AerynOS still in alpha and have suffered a few issues with Kwin and I am just not technical or dedicated enough to setup something like Chimera Linux.
I know some might say this is a losing battle and you can never 100% sure of something did not use AI but I try my best to find things that promise no AI, plus, I want to support some of them monetarily so they continue getting developed.
Maybe also being into gaming does not help my case T-T
Its in the kernel. So if you’re running Linux you really aren’t getting away from it. Maybe BSD would be a better option for no AI but Linux is shot when it cones to that.
True. It really sucks. I’d like to hope at least that Linus will do better than the armies of tech bros that have outsourced their brains through management, Slopya, and Tim Cook pressuring them through Windows and Apple right now. If i have to choose, Linux at least gives me more control and isn’t collecting every last shred of data
I know and it pains me. But, I got used to Linux and I have used it for a while now. Best I got is even if the main kernel is tainted, there are some other aspects that aren’t tainted or as tainted.
You can’t tell now, theres no disclosure. So theres simply no knowing what was made by AI and what wasn’t
And when people say they got used to Windows, they would be chided for giving in and they should “just take the plunge” and switch to Linux. Now that Linux is being assimilated, you want to hold on to it. Why not just take the plunge and go BSD, or fork the kernel
You make a valid point. Maybe I should give it a shot instead of writing it off as too complex for me. I ain’t much of a quiter (learning Linux at first was painful even with guides. The amount of times I encountered a bug and spent hours trying to resolve it 😭).
My friends lowkey dis on me being on Linux since some games they like playing aren’t available on Linux and somethings being a little harder to do but I have come to terms with it and only care about games that can work natively or on Proton.
Honestly I say to expand your horizons. I use Linux, Windows, Mac and have dabbled in BSD and Irix. I’m a big believer in “best tool for the job”. Sometimes that’s Windows, sometimes it’s Linux.
Once you start learning more of the OSs you actually realize how similar they are at the lower levels and gives you an appreciation of where they went. Hell, pretty much the networking stack as we know it came from BSD.
Won’t be long before everything getting merged into the kernel is AI slop
😔
Yeah, unfortunately LLM generated code is being added in the Linux Kernel, it is going to get slopped soon enough. Without labels, it will be hard to track the slop changes vs good sane ones. Honestly, unless people are actively microdosing (chuckles) I mean writing Microkernels and abandoning the mainline Kernel and most of the Sloppy written code…It’s going to be difficult to escape the influence of LLMs on even on Linux distros. I really wish the old white dudes weren’t losing their damn minds after one vibecoding session with a thing that cannot think. Linus, has officially fallen into his slopper era.
Thats just not. There is no “AI” in the kernel. Thats not whats happening.
Using AI coding tools does not equal there being AI in the kernel. Like, surely you are aware that code completion AI has been in most IDE’s for almost a decade? Using machine learning for coding has precedent.
And we need to not confuse that with there being actual AI in the OS/ kernel, because that is also a thing. And that is not what linux is.
Homie if you really think I meant they crammed a fucken 70B AI into the kernel I also have a bridge to sell you. The Linux maintainers are using AI to maintain the kernel. I get that this is text and there is no other component but come on. You can’t honestly have thought I meant that they put an entire fucken AI black box inside the Linux kernel.
Short for ‘fuckeng’?
“fucken’ is normal in Australia, commonly used like this: You fucken dropkicks better fucken run, the fucken dropbears are fucken coming!”
OP whom were replying to, they seem to not really know those things. You and I of course no these things, but they might need it explained.
Their response to me did not indicate that. They are fine. They dont want AI generated code in their OS.
