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.
