A stritcly #AI free #Linux distribution would need to be an #AIfree #BSD or #Hurd distribution in the long run. AFAIK, the Linux #kernel itself might have some AI assisted code already. They have a strict disclosure policy, though:

After years without compiling a kernel, I'm giving it another shot! 🐧

Building Linux kernel 6.19.3 on Slackware using Patrick's official SlackBuilds, starting from my 6.18.13 config as a base.

-> 6.19 brings some nice ext4 improvements that caught my attention:

• Support for block sizes larger than page size (can improve buffered write performance in some workloads)
• Faster online defragmentation using folios instead of legacy buffer heads
• Smarter POSIX ACL caching, avoiding redundant permission checks on files without ACLs
