I wrote off ubuntu for good 13 years ago when they let amazon advertise in the OS.
Yeah at this point I don't even consider them an option. They've been shit for ages.
“We’re making plans on how to integrate agentic workflows into Ubuntu for those who want it in a way that feels tasteful, aligned with our user base and respectful of our privacy and security values.”
Hmm, why does the concept of an agentic OS sound so familiar …
Trend chasing to suit corpo overlords go
"for those that want it" does offer some hope that it's not going to go to shit.
Laughs in mir, unity, systemd, rust coreutils, sudo-rs, SNAPS
Cannonical is definitely not dodging the "enshittified part of the Linux Ecosystem" allegations.
Technically, Ubuntu is
behind the curvenot at the forefront on this. Universal Blue already includes quite a bit of AI stuff and Fedora has had drafted plans for a while.Universal Blue: https://hachyderm.io/@jorge/116476967711636491
Hah yeah I spoke to Jon about this stuff at KubeCon. I said something like "Try to keep up!" :)
Lots of common tooling in this space though and getting more attention to open models can only help.
