so uh, what are all the Linux distros with strict "no AI-generated code allowed" rules going to do when Linus allows AI-generated code into the kernel because he sees zero issues with it?

@foxscribe @techokami NetBSD is the one major player with a good policy right now.

@Phorm that's my feelings exactly, except in the form of huge 3D text rotating and bouncing around like those old screensavers

@techokami Well so far from Gentoo it's about their own code (including recipes for the packages) but not upstream's code, although there's ongoing questions about what to do with those, like say masking the packages by default.(I guess kernel will be… "Fun")

@mirabilos @foxscribe @techokami For the modern BSDs I have this kind of question: What about LLVM and mesa?

@lanodan @techokami @foxscribe I think NetBSD uses GCC, alone for the portability?

@mirabilos @techokami @foxscribe sadly mesa depends on LLVM for at least amdgpu drivers (and of course llvmpipe which is software OpenGL) :/

@lanodan Yeah that is the Big Question I have. If LLM stuff is banned, and the Linux kernel uses LLM stuff, then how does the distro handle it? Fork from an older kernel and deviate from everyone else? Or carve out an exemption specifically for the kernel? If a Linux distro stops using the Linux kernel, then it is no longer a Linux distro...

@foxscribe @techokami @lanodan older versions is what I’m guessing

@mirabilos @foxscribe @lanodan Okay, so... NetBSD. Sure. So uhhhh... how is the driver situation? Is WiFi still a crapshoot? Any actual support for recent GPUs? Also, is there a way to get a modern desktop environment (ideally KDE Plasma 6) onto NetBSD without having to do incredibly confusing and arcane actions?

@techokami @lanodan @foxscribe last NetBSD I’ve run was around the turn of the millennium, and I deliberately buy old hardware, so… *shrug*Probably: depends on the details. Try it.

@mirabilos @techokami @foxscribe Yeah, kind of the same here, machine I have NetBSD (and Haiku, dual-boot) on is a laptop from ~2012.
