Gentoo chose to ban LLMs two years ago. They seem to be doing well.

Funny because out of all the distros, Gentoo benefits from LLM usage, at least as a power user. I have fixed many-an-issues just having LLMs write patches in a way that portage automatically builds them, or rapidly put together ebuilds. I respect upstream decision though and don't share my changes (and realistically who would want them)

Gentoo is doing as well as it’s always done. It’s clearly a very niche distribution. I say this as someone that used Gentoo for years.

They are free to keep pretending that they aren’t receiving covert AI contributions, because I’d bet the farm that they are.

Debian has a little more ‘general interest’
