A few days after Micro$lop announced they’re using AI to develop Windows, PCs with Win11 started to have a bug, where the screen goes black (usually no signal), then the GUI slowly crawls back to be visible one-by-one. I wonder what kind of Linux equivalent we will have.


Switch to FreeBSD.
I love this “A is imperfect so switch your entire existence to B” kind of answer that provides no value.
lol it wasn’t meant to be serious advice. I am not a fan of any of the BSDs on the desktop. I am a happy Fedora user. Linus and the kernel team made their stance on AI clear. We aren’t going to change that. If it gets to the point where it is worse than the alternatives as a result of AI, I will look elsewhere. Until then, it works.
So you’ll stick around until you’re (possibly the first person you’ve heard about) affected by a (potentially serious, as in data loss) bug?
Maybe! There have always been bugs. I didn’t jump ship any of those times. What matters most is how it compares to the alternatives. What are your plans?
Too popular, it’ll get AI slop eventually too.
We’re gonna have to gird our loins for TempleOS
Redox OS and Haiku are promising alternatives that reject AI code.
TempleOS generates random words with a fraction of the energy use of LLMs. The feature is called godspeak.
nope
Oh boy. NetBSD! GNU Hurd!
sorry, all the bsd’s are on the list and HURD might actually need it to get anywhere…
As in, not your code, disavowed.
which one is that?
NetBSD. They are very explicit LLMs are tainted code, and will not be included.
Huh, I found some useful alternatives on that list in case I needed a hardened anti-AI distro. Garuda Linux, they do not use AI at the moment but they also don’t have a firm policy yet either. Thankfully, they haven’t made this list, which is a good thing as most of them are pretty annoyed with AI. There are only some slop herders in the ranks but they seem to use it for personal stuff.
Time to give up computing!
there’s always 9front
Switch to NetBSD instead, please.
