Most of it comes down to personally mitigating the damages:
- start with ElementaryOS and Pantheon/Gnome, then decide which path you want to follow
- if you’re hardcore, go for NetBSD or MirBSD or 9front/Plan9 instead of Linux
- on the Linux side: ElementaryOS, Gentoo, Chimera Linux, AerynOS, and Nura/PostmarketOS all have strong LLM policies
- along those lines: Gnome and Cosmic haven’t gone soft on AI the way KDE has
- Starlight Network No-AI List is one jumping off point, but there are several other lists including repo-slopscore and Weird Little Guys
Most slopcode projects are abandoned and deleted within months of release – “Of the 120 unique repos, 32 were maintained and 88 were abandoned.”
