A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

That's exactly why I migrated from Fedora to Arch, I want a distro with little to none corporation influence.
To me, the real Linux experience is Arch.
I didn't want to wait for some bad decision to be made. Time is showing I took the right decision.
Now I’m thinking of doing the same because the entire reason I chose fedora was to take advantage of their institutional support
But if those institutions are going to sell the floor right under me to ai then there’s no point
Check out Debian as well! (or lmde) I have recently switched from Arch to Debian (with sway) to have some more stability. Love it so far, I don't bother about configs or having by dependencies anymore and can just focus on actually doing some work. Arch has a really active community though with a big repository (which quality varies a lot) and nice documentation.
I might try Debian testing branch first because, frankly, I do not want to deal with arch linux...I just want to use my computer
Check out PikaOS, it's pretty much pure Debian, but for gaming, makes updating drivers and managing games easy
IMO there are two main Linux camps, and most users fall somewhere in-between. Rolling OS lovers who want to tinker (eg Arch). People who want stability over everything (eg Debian).
The only truly wrong answer is paying for RHEL.
Same. I was on Fedora Atomic but the stench hardened so I jumped over to nixOS a few weeks back. Glad I did.
i'm not ready to go to arch yet since i'm not comfortable enough but i'm curious; is arch based in us or outside? i know mint is based in eu/ireland. i do wish i went with mint debian instead of mint ubuntu but next time
It’s international, but there are a lot of Europeans: https://archlinux.org/people/developers/
CachyOS has its roots in the Polish Arch community if I recall correctly. It’s much less daunting, and I’d highly recommend it.
Check out Garuda. It's a really stable, well maintained version of Arch. I've been running the same install of it for over 9 months with only one screw up that garuda's own health tool fixed for me.
It's been a great way for me to learn Linux and Arch, and it rivals Bazzite in my own gaming benchmarks.
thanks! ill look at this
its also the best final fantasy eikon.
