surprising absolutely nobody who’s been paying attention, Fedora has signaled its intent to use generative AI and an LLM in its packaging software
and I wouldn’t give a fuck what IBM’s pet distro does, but Red Hat’s developers have a high amount of control over what ends up in the userland… and bootloader… and pretty much every part of the system but the kernel cause they got told to fuck off, of every Linux distro but the obscure ones
I'm not really in on distros and related drama (strong "just fucking use Debian stable" camp), why did Red Hat get told to fuck off from the kernel?
I started a job in the last year that really forced me to play around with different distros and sometimes building them. Pretty much my entire experience is “abandon ubuntu, just use debian” and wishing other people would do the same
(Pretty much my entire reasoning is that snap fucked up my dev environment so bad I rage installed debian)
