@Canageek@wandering.shop I'm not trying to talk you into staying, but do keep in mind, that one openSUSE developer saying they're doing this, even if published on news.o.o, doesn't mean A) its going to be adopted by the project, or B) that it's going to ship in all products. People like to assume that openSUSE is a big monolith that is all marching to the same tune. It isn't.

I'm thinking I might check out a Mandrake Linux descendent? I've liked Mageia linux in past.

@Canageek@wandering.shop "Our tooling and minimum-required-knowledge is really high. So we're just gonna throw an AI at the problem."

@Canageek@wandering.shop I've been using MX Linux for years, and its ancestor MEPIS before that. Running XFCE with no systemd takes a little getting used to ... but it's a robust OS. It's also one that my limited skills are sufficient to maintain and upgrade.

@Canageek@wandering.shop assuming that OpenSUSE really does do this… well, I feel your pain. I don't know what your needs are, but it is worth looking at Debian; they have indicated that they have no plans to integrate AI. Gentoo has taken a firm anti-AI stance. Arch hasn't made any statements, but integration of AI would be against their whole ethos. By extension, Endeavor OS is also probably safe. There are actually quite a few good Linux options that eschew AI. But depending on your use case, you could also give NetBSD a shot 😁

@Canageek@wandering.shop What is the source of this information please? The only thing I can find is https://www.phoronix.com/news/GSoC-2026-Exciting-Projects Which is a student doing the Google summer of code said they had an idea for such a project.

@Canageek@wandering.shop The tools mentioned are pretty great. 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.

gentoo has no-LLM policy. however, it’s unavoidable for the packages themselves, as well as the kernel @Canageek@wandering.shop

@Canageek@wandering.shop Won’t help you here. 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.
