Not just for AI users. For the era itself.
His argument starts with a simple observation. AI is no longer something you interact with through a chat window. It is becoming agentic.
Agree with Mark?

@itsfoss Ubuntu, be the flagship Linux distro for agentic AI? More like, Ubuntu desperately trying to be relevant in 2026
And, this is coming from someone that actually values AI EXTREMELY strongly as a Linux user, unlike the mass of Luddites in the replies.
Ubuntu is just garbage.

@itsfoss I have recently learned that the startup "agentic solution to [business task]" market is getting crowded. So yes, I kind of see it coming. The problem is that certain business-bros want their data pulled up stat when they ask the AI. But they also want the data to be reliable. These startups are selling that they can solve these issues with the power of totally-not-an-llm-wrapper (agentic)...? Can they do that? Can they do that better, easier and cheaper than just hiring a data person?
