As someone who genuinely loves KDE, and has even donated to the project multiple times, I sadly have to accept that the majority of KDE have hopped onto the Pro-AI train, and they will not be dissuaded otherwise.
Damn… I guess I’ll have to start trying out more DEs again to find something to switch to.
Niri is solid. If you're into it.
If you don’t mind me asking what OS do you run now? The LLM policy for KDE is essentially the same as the Linux kernel.
I'd wager that almost every large open source project has had AI code submitted and merged. There's really no way to detect it.
