edit: false alarm, the article is a year old. I saw feb 4th and jumped the gun.
hey, what the fuck!? wasn’t MICROS~1 recent debacle not a warning huge enough?!
This blog post is one year old. Has anyone noticed visible changes yet? On Fedora 43 I have not and I’d be disappointed if such features were ever forced on users.
correct, saw feb 4th and went berserk. maybe take the post down?
They do have a framework, I don’t know if they plan to bring this to fedora but it’s more recent than your article https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/what-llm-d-and-why-do-we-need-it
Whelp, I’m glad I’ve learnt how to distro hop in time :o
how does one do that actually?
shocked that a for profit closed proprietary company would do something so stupid
Fedora has been implementing an optional ML API. It’s up to you if you install it or not.
Arch + KDE win
Are you honestly surprised by this? It is IBM after all.
On the bright side it is only Fedora Workstation and not the server line.
Ignoring what users want is the tradition in GNOME and yeah ofcourse Fedora is gonna do whatever RedHat/IBM tells them to do including push AI-slop.
Oh huh. Now i feel good about hopping from fedora and not really vibing with gnome. GG redhat, no re
Fedorai
Time to hipooty hop once more
Well, it seems a lot of major distributions include AI tooling. Arch included 😉

As long as they are opt-in as in packages that can be installed optionally that’s fine. The day a distro has AI tooling embedded, then I can actively opt-out from the distro.
Not to mention people can fork said distro and remove the AI tooling themselves.
Such is the beauty of open source.
Not to mention that almost all model development is done on Linux as I have understood it, so there will definitely exist packages for those that want them.
I look forward to a free/libre os that is ai centric. were the ai is setup to just handle things about the os itself and interfacing with the user. then have domain ai’s you can activate sorta like the chatgpt model where the main one can talk to the specialist ones. should be totally configurable on if they can do searches or such.

Well, is the default package repository good enough as a reference?
Just a couple of examples.

Well, they aren’t AUR, but vetted packages. The only difference I see from what Fedora or Ubuntu does is not do any marketing. All of them have AI tooling opt-in so far.
Running Arch without any packages in the standard repo would be a pretty special experience.
