I've been a Linux user for more than 30 years but I am really close to moving to FreeBSD as my daily OS. So many Linux distribution projects are, in some fashion or another, allowing the use of AI within their project. It's like the decision makers for projects are ignoring the ethical issues with AI and its use. I will never support this. I don't care how "helpful" people think AI is or will be.

Is FreeBSD as easy as Linux to use as a daily OS? No, not yet. But it's getting closer every single day. I will, of course, never move away from Linux 100% but will be keeping an eye on projects and how they use AI.

On a separate post that I made weeks ago on this subject, someone commented, "Have fun being left behind, then." I will. Thank you.

@cmccullough you could try Gentoo. They're pretty vocally anti-AI.

I'd switch to FreeBSD m'self except my hardware isn't supported. I'm being brought low by a wireless card…

@cocaine_owlbear I've tried Gentoo in the past.
@cmccullough yeah, me too. And I hear you. Just thought you'd appreciate their AI stance.

OK......but some notable Linux boosters are moving to use a Mac as their daily driver. They appear to be using ONLY FOSS applications.....but even so.....
