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

And reality is shapes by our actions. We work hard enough and we may and genAI forever best case scenario. Worst I'll take is societal values equating genAI with CP levels of degeneracy and depravity.

    You're deluding yourself, friend, and will only cause yourself more pain in the long run than if you just accepted reality now. Eradicating AI is as likely as eradicating computers themselves. I mean, I'm not going to delete the dozens of models off my devices, and I'm just one person.

    Accept that innovation is here, and find a winnable battle to focus on.

    The problem is I am optimistically delusional, so I firmly believe it is a winnable battle. I refuse to give up, even if it means becoming the poster person for the movement. By any means necessary, I believe us people ( the non genAI users not included because they ain't people ) must win the war.

    Also, you're talking to a stubborn autistic 'tard, so it'll be nearly impossible to change my stance on this due to my autistic passion level of hatred.

    Oh, yeah, I get you. I'm the same way about the color purple. l won't rest until the entire hue is eliminated from the electromagnetic spectrum, and anyone who uses it for anything, for any reason, is shunned as a degenerate.

    You're talking to a fellow obstinate. We can accomplish literally anything, no matter how outlandish or inane. I hate purple so much!!!
