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.

Because many services only have SMS as 2FA option. Especially government services. Also it is impossible to use google without enabling the SMS 2FA option. No matter what, with only 2FA authenticator app or email, they will lock down the account by saying “unable to verify”.

It has always been free on f-droid.

So XDA developers page too is affected by AI Slop.

How debian is lightweight ? Isn’t it have too many bloats pre-installed ? A distro i can build myself is actually lightweight. Like Arch or Debian.

Can you share your experience with OpenBSD please?

I heard that OpenBSD is not so friendly enough to daily drive as a primary operating system. Are you using it?

Not recently I think. It’s around in 2022. Acquired by Valnet Inc.

Btw, today I tried once again to install Void and successfully installed it on my computer. With 5hrs + concentrated setup, I installed graphic drivers, power management tools, swap and app armor on the system. Don’t know how the experience will be, but this time, with a successful installation, I feel much more satisfied than building arch.

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?
