Been a long time Debian user but with the recent AI decision I am planning on moving on so anyone have an anti-AI recommendations? I understand its being used in the kernel as well but are there any distros taking a full anti-AI approach to the parts of the code they control?

Since folks seem a little confused on what I am referring to here is the mailing list page regarding the use of gen ai without disclosure vote: https://lists.debian.org/debian-vote/2026/08/msg00360.html

Phoronix article on it: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Debian-Votes-Responsible-AI-Use

All you said is that you know they use it. You didn't answer why it's ok there? Also, Linus didn't put it up to a vote.

    Never said it was okay there. Purpose of this post is to locate a linux distro that isn't using AI with what is under its own control. Can't control the kernel but I can look for distros that share similar ethics.
