"For openSUSE Linux they are looking at developing an AI-powered onboarding experience for users to deal with "new openSUSE users face a steep learning curve navigating distribution-specific tools like zypper, YaST, Btrfs/Snapper, and systemd." "

Guess it is time for me to find a new linux distro. Recommendations welcome.

Thank you. I am on Fedora KDE at the moment, and I suspect KDE is really the bigger driver of what I want on a day-to-day basis. Are any of the others you mentioned well-integrated with KDE?

Gentoo is the only distro that I know of that has been vocal about their anti-AI stance. Arch has yet to set a policy, but I would be very surprised if they were accepting. Debian has said they are going to wait for things to settle down before making a decision, which is very Debian of them.

NetBSD (not a Linux distro I know) has made firm statrments against AI, and don't allow AI code. The other two major BSDs are less vocal, but neither is currently accepting AI code as far as I know (although FreeBSD has used it for documentation, or at least translation of documentation; it did not go well.)

It's probably better, though, to point out distros that have either fully embraced AI or tout their usefulness in AI, or are bragging about upcoming AI-oriented features. That would include Ubuntu, Fedora, and OpenSUSE.

So right now, I'd say use Gentoo, Arch, or Debian for Linux, or NetBSD if you want to be 100% sure.

You seem knowledgeable about this arena. Do you make recommendations on anti-ai distros?

Never used anything else than Debian, be it my laptop, home PC or servers I manage. Well OK there was a year or three of Slackware, but that was back in late 1990s, so it was THE Linux.

I would look for another distro if SUSE started putting machine generated code in.

But I do think there are applications for this that are useful. e.g. medical image processing https://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/ai-tool-can-analyse-complex-cancer-images-rapidly-offering-potential-to-personalise-treatment

I'm not quite willing to move to OpenBSD due to LLM generated code in the kernel yet, but I understand the people I know who are doing so

There is also the issue of the psychological effects on humans of becoming dependent on these things.

I am suggesting that we can be discerning and weigh the risks depending on the variables.

Software can't lie or hallucinate as it has no intent or perception. These are just words their developers use to avoid having to say that they wrote very bad software.

It isn't a thing built by stealing other people's work as it uses only the SUSE docs as its data set.

It is never going to use a giant data centre because in runs locally and is aimed at new users not businesses.

This kind of single purpose SLM is the only use of this technology that I would consider ever thinking about using. And it will probably be one of the very few uses of this tech which will be around after the bubble bursts.

It sounds a bit like a baby/bathwater situation.

I mean yes, it's a bit ridiculous / trendy, but of all the bad ideas about using LLMs, using them to answer questions or produce summaries on a specific set of documents and information is one the most reasonable ones. If rather than saying "just read the docs at doc.opensuse.org" you can offer a new user a way to query them using natural language, i can see the draw.

From what I’ve read, openSUSE is an association that acts as a link between SUSE and the developers and creators of the distributions that form part of the openSUSE project.
And from what I’ve read, the Aeon distribution is not part of openSUSE.
I don’t know whether this is true or not, regarding both the first and the second points. πŸ˜…
