I have been using Linux for over 8 months now, and my primary distribution of choice was Debian.
Debian recently conducted a community vote on allowing AI contributions, and it ended up allowing responsible AI contributions.
What is this responsible? How can AI commits be responsible? There are thousands of reasons to not use AI, and the primary reason is AI is a thief.
How did you react to Debian’s decision? Did you switch distros? Which one was your option, and why?
Also, when the Linux kernel itself allows AI commits, is there any practicality in a Linux distribution strictly limiting or restricting AI commits?
I have no serious usability issue with Debian now but am concerned about the use of AI even in my Linux distribution. Should I keep going with Debian or consider any other distribution, as I only have 8+ months of experience as a daily Linux user? I tried almost all Linux distros and am comfortable with everything except Void Linux and highly complex ones like Gentoo.
Sorry to bring this into the Linux discussion but OpenBSD is still here. even if the code were AI-generated it would have to go into the meat grinder of style, logic, and cleanliness that all human code goes through to get into release.
Maybe it’s time to consider your switch?
Plus NetBSD has Anti AI contributor policy these two are safe haven for people that don’t want AI. Also Ironclad OS GPLv3 licensed also available for anyone wants to.
NetBSD! I am currently learning UVM and it’s really impressive to a memory newbie
I heard that OpenBSD is not so friendly enough to daily drive as a primary operating system. Are you using it?
Yeah but i run it on an x220T. It definitely depends on what you wanna do, but i find it reliable.
