Linux/Linus thoughts, AI/LLM mention I'm really disappointed that Linus seems unbothered, even seeming to advocate for use of AI tools in kernel development.

So the way I see it, the whole of the Linux ecosystem is poisoned unless you use an older kernel which may not work well with newer hardware or software, and you may have unpatched vulns.

I don't think the BSDs are immune to this, and I'm not prepared to jump ship anyway.

Windows is a non-option if I care about my privacy, and it generally pisses me off anyway.

Mac OS? Lol

Like, I just want to use an OS that isn't totally invasive, isn't a total pain in the ass to use and configure, and I'd
prefer that the software I use isn't poisoned by the fucking lie machine.

Is that too much to ask?
yes

Note: not saying you should or need to immediately switch to any of these, but they may be worth keeping in mind, and it's nice to know at least some projects are taking a stance.

Redox-OS has the strongest LLM policy I'm aware of
gitlab.redox-os.org/redox-os/redox/-/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#ai-policy

NetBSD (almost entirely) bans it. I don't love that its main concern seems to be copyright. Still, I'm interested enough to play around with it. I may be able to switch servers to it but I don't expect to main it on desktop.

Gentoo of course uses the linux kernel and can't do much about what upstream does, but they've banned it for what they do control, and for good reasons. Definitely the easiest of the three to switch to, since it's still linux.
