Are Anti-AI Linux distributions practical? 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.

Just try to install it and use it for 1 week, and then you know the pain. Today I tried VoidLinux once again, and after hours of trying to enable audio, I failed and finally built Arch from root. 😐

Why don’t kde? Are they also into AI slop? I didn’t used elementaryOS yet. Is elementaryOS a good daily driver? Also what about Arch?
