Appreciate the list! Definitely going to be grabbing as many programs who actively reject AI as I can. Gotta support those who are keeping up the good fight! Thanks again ProdigalFrog!

Agreed! With how many linux distros we have out there some choices on AI usage would be nice!

Less totally cool and more reaching for stuff that is at least somewhat doable. The Linux kernel is going to do what it wants and alternatives to it that provide the same level of functionality are just not really there at least in the areas that are important to me.

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

Already mentioned this in the post description. Purpose of the post is to find linux distros with an anti-AI policy.

I'll take a look at them! AerynOS seems to be the primarily distro I have found with a no AI policy but sadly its atomic. Thanks for the recommendations!

Definitely will take a look at them! Appreciate the recommendations!

The posts purpose is to find linux distros that don’t use AI in their own code.

I've been tempted to give it a go a few times. Mainly for fun tbh. Appreciate the recommendation!

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.

Never said it was okay there. Purpose of this post is to locate a linux distro that isn't using AI with what is under its own control. Can't control the kernel but I can look for distros that share similar ethics.

Mentioned this in the description of the post already.

 

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

A review of Mageia 10 by Jesse from distrowatch. Seems like a fairly solid system overall.
