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

Maybe this is the push you need to . . . Yes, maybe it’s time for . . . FreeBSD.

Search your feelings. You know it to be true.

FreeBSD has been slop for a while, the only slopfree BSD remaining is NetBSD, but that's probably not practical to actually use.

What about openBSD? I doubt the most secure OS would want llm code.

FreeBSD does not include AI features in its core operating system, but the FreeBSD community and Foundation have explored AI-assisted tools for specific tasks like vulnerability discovery and driver development.
