It’s a straw man’s argument. I don’t plan on continuing to use Noctalia because of AI, therefore I shouldn’t use Linux itself? These are two entirely different statements.

Is it problematic that the kernel is developed using AI? Yes, certainly, but that’s not something I have the capacity to deal with at the moment. But why shouldn’t I be allowed to switch to other projects that are stringently anti-AI like River and Quickshell? I will support any open source project that comes with blanket statement against AI usage on the project because I loath it with a vengeance to deep to put into words. But that’s just me, these projects are freely available for anyone to use and if you don’t mind LLM generated code, knock yourself out.

I use it with Niri, please know, the community likes AI at least a few of the plugins are LLMs, doesn’t default to giving you AI features, and it’s fair to say a lot of commits are AI assisted. Whether or not that’s a problem for you is your choice, but it is a problem for me and plan to not use it in the future. Regardless, it gets a tentative recommend from me. Its convenience factor of you just run one program to provide widgets, bar, notification daemon, clipboard manager, and such is really hard to pass up. Moreover, the common design language between all the components is quite nice with the color scheme system they provide working rather well.

Surprisingly only been mentioned once, but Chimera! It’s weird and strange and brilliant!

If you want something slightly more normal (well, actually, it’s not any more normal, just more common), then you can get PostmarketOS installed on anything if you go outside the documentation a little (it’s really not hard, pmbootstrap is quite a good utility). If you take that route, I recommend OpenRC as not only is PMOS anti-AI, but so is OpenRC!

I agree with your sentiment, increasing temperatures and deeply unhealthy forests create superfires, but also that’s not the point of the message. Most wildfires are human-caused and I have seen first hand just how wreckless humans can be around fire.

So, please follow your local fire restrictions, treat any open flame outside with the respect and care it deserve, and most of all, use common sense. A fire started in bad fire weather quite often is an entirely different beast from a fire natural started from lightning strike.

And the sentiment of the meme is unfortunately all too correct. You can simply see it in how conservative the fire authorities are in using air assets. While the scale and furry of fires is caused by climate change, the inevitable loss of property and more importantly life is on the hands of Trump.

Next year, I’m telling you, it’s going to be the year of the BSD desktop.
