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 think you cannot find any because the Linux kernel itself has AI assisted development happening. Distros that use the kernel then cannot say “No AI.”

    Edit: Gentoo and NetBSD specifically do not allow AI generated code.

      While I definitely prefer that the distribution have no AI code, most important for me is that the OS not have mandatory AI integration. I don’t want my boxes to EVER reach out to some LLM datacenter.
