After 5 years, I’m finally leaving Ubuntu for this Linux distro (www.makeuseof.com)

I’ve been seeing a lot of people trying to find the perfect Linux distro to replace Windows 10 with, now that its support is ending, and Ubuntu is usually the first name that comes up. It makes sense since it is stable, beginner-friendly, and has a huge community that makes getting started with Linux easier.

But as someone whose first Linux distro was Ubuntu, and who has used it for over half a decade across different PCs, I’ve realized it might not be the smartest choice anymore. Instead, Fedora Silverblue turned out to be exactly what I was looking for. Even if you are new to Linux, it might actually be the better option.

fedora's declaration that they're officially okay with including "ai" generated code in the project has me shopping around for a new distro. CachyOS seems like it's really soliid choice these days.

"AI code" is being added to the Linux kernel for years now.

Are you shopping for a different OS?

I am willing to bet more than 80 % of programmers nowadays have AI assistance. It works. It saves time. Code is still public, reviewable.

You can either accept the new reality or hide in the woods.

Its been downhill since compilers. People just script these days. No knolage of low level systems. Bring back assembly.

Bring back paper tape! Hell, bring back setting switches on the front of the machine.

Oh come on, they added guidelines on how AI generated content has to be marked.

The alternative would be people committing their AI generated code anyway and just not telling anyone.
