Already mentioned it in the post description. The posts purpose is to find linux distros that don't use AI in their own code. Sadly can't do much when it comes to the kernel.
Ok... So what's the point?

They all do, Torvalds checked in code that had AI assistance
I understand the kernel has utilized AI. I am referring specifically to the work done on this distro end. The rest of the software outside the kernel. Not much that can be done regarding the kernel unless someone does an anti-AI fork
Ok, seriously. What is an operating system to you? Where and why are you drawing the line at the distro? You can get linux DEs working in openBSD or use much of the *nix ecosystem there without kernel AI.
The Linux distributions are basically a preconfigured file system installation and package management system with default configs and applications. What exactly are you trying to boycott by boycotting Debian but not Linux?
You're not going to get a straight answer. It's futile and motivated by mental deficiency. It's like asking why someone with OCD has to count all the different colors of Skittles in the bag before they can begin eating them.
Mental illness is their point.
Glass houses buddy. I've been reading your responses in this thread. You of all people don't need to be throwing stones.
Thanks, njm1314. Everyone here has been so cordial, polite, and deserving of grace. It's not like they regularly post on a sub called "fuck_ai" or anything. Oh, wait... They literally do.
