I'm intent on getting rid of Ubuntu since their embrace of AI, and would prefer to avoid any other distro based on Ubuntu, since that's just kicking the can down the road.

But a thorough search of the web for various versions of "Linux with no AI" only returns results that recommend AI infused distros and articles touting how great AI will be for Linux, or how to fix Linux using AI. 🤮

Can anyone recommend a distro that has proudly announced their refusal to ever consider adding #AIslop to their distro?

Yes, just provisionally. But a great sign.

I'm no kind of a programmer, but anyboard offers a free, open way to use structured data to put a visualizer on an AppleTV. "JSON Schema describes all options for dashboards configuration."

No idea how to go about getting or structuring my data from HA to do this, but I wonder if anyone else who might just hasn't heard of https://anyboard.io/

Really don't want to/won't use AI to find my answer.

I’ve just moved my z-wave installation over from Indigo and to a happily surprising extent, the transition has gone very well.

However, several different PIR sensors from different brands (homeseer, Ecolink, VisionPro) are detected as lights by HA, even if they have, in some cases, configuration options that are related to a PIR. HA assigns them a bulb icon, and the only control shows as a switch with the name “Basic.”

Is this a known bug, and is there any way to get HA to reassign the correct sensor type to these devices short of un-including and re-including them? Is that likely to get them working?

I’m also seeing a ZP3102 PIR sensor by Vision Security that’s showing only as a “basic” sensor.

Any advice? These sensors showed up fine in Indigo.

Balsam from Baker Creek Seeds.

Pretty much the title. I’ve got an old (circa 2012) MacBook Pro with no screen that’s running Ubuntu, but since day one of the install it has never recognized the touchpad. I’ve been using it with an external mouse, which works, but it’s much less convenient and elegant than if I had even basic touchpad use.

Any ideas on how I might make this work?

I think I've done my research, but damn if I can find what I'm looking for in the US. Even talked to my installer, who had nothing.

From what I can tell, my sole option for V2H, using the vehicle's batteries to back up the house, is the Ford Lightning. Maybe the Mach-E?

In fact, what I'd actually like is a CAR. Not a crossover, not a SUV. An actual CAR.

• The Lightning is WAAAY too much "car" for me.
• Best I can tell, Polestar is only "testing" V2anything.
• Kia/Hyundai only has V2L.
• Volkswagen ID4? I'm unclear.
• Mini has nothing.
• Leaf has something, but leaf is too little for being useful in terms of KwH.

Again, I'm in the US. And I already have an Enphase solar install, so I can't totally switch to some other sort of turnkey soup to nuts solution. I don't have batteries for the house, and want a vehicle that can be that as well as a mode of transport.

I'm also not an electrical engineer, so what that guy in this forum who built his own rack of components to make V2H work with his Ioniq is not something I can do.

Any help?
