I’m intent on getting rid of Ubuntu since their embrace of AI, and would prefer to avoid any other distro based on Ubuntu, since that’s just kicking the can down the road.
But a thorough search of the web for various versions of “Linux with no AI” only returns results that recommend AI infused distros and articles touting how great AI will be for Linux, or how to fix Linux using AI. 🤮
Can anyone recommend a distro that has proudly announced their refusal to ever consider adding #AIslop to their distro?
I’m experimenting with Debian now.
I’m happy with Debian, yes.
You may be interested in the deliberations Debian has had earlier this year on exactly what should be permitted or banned with regard to contributions generated by bots.
Thats what I run on my laptop, its great. The main thibg with debian is that the packages are old, (6 months~) but very stable. I would reccomend using the testing version for newer packages. I am not saying debian 13 is bad tho, its what I run.
