Guess it's finally time to go all in on FreeBSD
why not a genuine piece of pre-AI coding art like Windows Vista, Windows ME or the absolute pinacle of software: Slackware 9.1 before they switched to the awful X.org server from the beautiful XFree86?
Fuck that, I’m going back to DOS.
FreeDOS actually does have an anti AI policy, at least when it comes to code commits: https://www.freedos.org/about/ai/ So you might be onto something here!
I'm going back to AmigaDOS.
Finally!
Maybe get an M2-series Mac and go all-in on Asahi Linux?
Or live the 90s dream with Haiku OS (they just released beta 6)?
The “never ai” list is getting pretty short

That's still Linux with Torvalds-approved LLM generated code. If you care about avoiding LLM code, all Linux is now poisoned.
If you care about avoiding LLM code, all Linux is now poisoned.
How do you figure that?
Also, Torvalds isn’t reviewing every PR sitting there like, “yes how delicious this AI generated code is! I approve!” Believe it or not, tens of thousands of people run the Linux foundation project, not just him.
And let’s keep our heads squarely on our necks here, and remember what Torvalds actually said:
How do you figure that?
It's literally spelled out in the submitted article as well as https://www.xda-developers.com/linus-torvalds-will-loudly-ignore-anyone-criticising-ai-code-in-linux-fork-it-or-just-walk-away/ which is prominently linked from that article. Read first, comment later, don't downvote others just because you are wrong.
If you really think that FreeBSD whose developers often use Macs on desktop is any different, think again. Maybe OpenBSD but certainly not FreeBSD.
I daily drive OpenBSD, I find it much better than my experience with FreeBSD. OpenBSD I feel has better wifi support, better VM support, and I found more of my devices worked on OpenBSD as opposed to FreeBSD (pair of USB Headphones I had just absolutely WOULD NOT work on FreeBSD, on OpenBSD it wasn't an issue)
That being said OpenBSD's policy on AI isn't exactly clear yet. NetBSD however has straight up said no to AI.
The BSD's are good, they've come a long way, but you can't go into them thinking you'll get a similar Linux up to date experience. the BSD's are still a few years behind but if you're going to try and make a switch I would suggest NetBSD or OpenBSD over FreeBSD. I might give NetBSD another go as I think I gave up on it last time because the install process annoyed me.
the BSD’s are still a few years behind
As long as many BSD developers (especial at FreeBSD, I think it's a lesser degree with Net and Open) are Mac users who actively reject using any FOSS BSD on desktops/notebooks and only care about contributing regarding server stuff, this won't change.
why not go full linux nutter and create TempleOS 2.0 ?
only hand made code that you yourself wrote, it’s the only way to be sure!
The year of Linux and they do this...
It's been working out great for Windows, hasn't it?
