The use of AI has become a hot topic across many open-source projects, with many already taking a clear stance. Now AerynOS, an atomic-update-based Linux distribution that’s still in development and currently in alpha, has joined that conversation as well.

The distro announced on Reddit that it has formally adopted a project-wide policy rejecting the use of LLMs (large language models) across its development and community workflows, citing ethical, environmental, quality, and legal concerns.

Under the new policy, LLM-generated content is not accepted in any part of the project, including source code, documentation, issue reports, and artwork.

This distro has some good track. I hope we start seeing more people using it, and more important more package maintainers, to join the project so we have more applications available. The moss package manager is an interesting idea and I can see that as some sort of an evolution from a post SolusOS era.
