I’m intent on getting rid of Ubuntu since their embrace of AI, and would prefer to avoid any other distro based on Ubuntu, since that’s just kicking the can down the road.
But a thorough search of the web for various versions of “Linux with no AI” only returns results that recommend AI infused distros and articles touting how great AI will be for Linux, or how to fix Linux using AI. 🤮
Can anyone recommend a distro that has proudly announced their refusal to ever consider adding #AIslop to their distro?
If you are ok with Ubuntu in general, excluding the AI part, go upstream and get Debian. It’s primarily mandate is stability which, to me at least, means no AI integration from the standard install.
While I definitely prefer that the distribution have no AI code, most important for me is that the OS not have mandatory AI integration. I don’t want my boxes to EVER reach out to some LLM datacenter.
Ubuntu has no mandatory AI integration, what are you on about?
No mainstream distro afaik have mandatory AI. This isn’t windows
And now Omarchy exists.
🤮
If a distro is advertising that, then they aren’t trustworthy and should be avoided. Linux uses AI assisted development, and every Linux distro is built on top of Linux.
