I know of AerynOS and Chimera Linux but AerynOS still in alpha and have suffered a few issues with Kwin and I am just not technical or dedicated enough to setup something like Chimera Linux.

I know some might say this is a losing battle and you can never 100% sure of something did not use AI but I try my best to find things that promise no AI, plus, I want to support some of them monetarily so they continue getting developed.

Maybe also being into gaming does not help my case T-T

Caveats about kernel slop apply, but regarding distro policy itself: Gentoo, or consider escaping to something like NetBSD.

    This user did mention they did not have technical skills required to set-up and install Chimera Linux...Suggesting either Gentoo or NetBSD is genuinely an appalling choice in this case. Both of those require a lot from their users to get into a basic TTY window, after installing as there is no automated desktop environment installed. NetBSD is particularly more difficult to access because of boot requirements and the like. It doesn't run on UEFI machines (not easily) it would require techwizardry. If we want to be kind to people in the community, we have to provide better suggestions for what they are asking for.

    I tried installing NetBSD yesterday and it defeated me. Wifi seems to have been the issue. Installing BSD is what Windows people think installing Linux is like.

    Please do not construe this post as impugning on the skill or morality of BSD developers. BSD gets way less funding and resources than Linux so their devs can't cover everything. I'd like to try again some time, but maybe try practicing with a virtual machine before I do it for real.

    I'll impugn their morality: their lack of funding is a direct result of them insisting on getting cucked with permissive licensing instead of copyleft. They explicitly condone abuse, so of fucking course abusers take advantage without giving back!

    If you want respect, protect the users.

    Ah, so to a Linux person it's like installing Windows. If it goes through fine, there's still an additional two hours of setting shit up before giving up.
