Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What are they getting for their money? Fork it if it's so good.
What are they getting for their money?
It's a marketing campaign to devalue Linux in the public eye.
If they can state that AI came up with a "good enough" distro you know what non-savvy people will think about it: that making a distro is "easy", and "anybody can do it", and that anybody involved with making distros "manually" is redundant and giving themselves airs etc.
It has already happened to many other fields.
Man I'm just here to enjoy some Linux not drama. Can't avoid politics at all on Lemmy :(
Yes baby ! What a great page. Thank you, to this Brennan dude(tte) for creating it, and quick apolls to others for me primitively raging against every sign of this nazi/fascist club/product, and the whole nazi/fascist enshittification/normalization of 'open source'.
One nasty surprise in secondary list: 'suckless' - oh well, can't win them all :-(
Let's post this great page as a standard reply to all posts/mentions of omacom/omarchy going forward, so all those not knowing, can be warned about what it really is !
[ait] (warning - AI topic tag) Dear anti-ai, if you can muster it, then please lower defences slightly for just a sec: It's really time and energy consuming to follow and document this yucky movement as they are now heavily funded and work/move constantly 24/7. Brennan is a super cool Human, but can't work on this always, all the time. We might need an active agentic system that also work constantly 24/7 to track the whole fascist/nazi network, all its players, update the lists and make it easier for ordinary good peeps to reject and boycott it all. Supervised by a human oc.
Yeah, suckless was a bummer for sure. :( Although, with their elitist attitude, I'm not surprised. There's supposed to be a fork of their window manager at least, written by a really young person. Can't quite recall its name now...
I wonder if your idea is doable without using LLMs though! :)
