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

Still not the best, but you can't close Pandora's box.

Then mandate local ai only. Fuck big ai company with an anchor.

    You said this. No one with the kingdom keys is going to do this because the actual purpose is surveillance.

    Well for one, most people are using cloud agents. So theres a tie. Two, and most importantly, I was simply explaining why your call for local only mandates would be laughed out of the room. AI is not here to make everyone an engineer. AI is here to put the Eye of Sauron everywhere.
