If we are talking gnome that will never happen. Sorry.

AI disclosure is no longer required for the Linux Kernel

NetBSD has a clear stance on no ai.

Open Source OS That Are Not Linux
Reply in thread
Yeah, I am worried that we are becoming too dependent on Linux(kernel) and systemd. I think it would be very hard to maintain a fork of Linux and systemd because their codebases are very large, and develop at a really fast pace (ai will make this even worse).
Of course these are my opinions, but I wonder if anyone shares them as well besides me.

templeos is public domain, which is incompatible with open source
Where did you come up with that conclusion?

Reply in thread
From what I understand from the article is that public domain's legality can be questioned (especially in germany), therefore they conclude that it is not opensource, similar to how releasing software with no license is not OSS. That is where licenses like in the article CC0 come in play and unlicense to help create legal public-domain-like software.
In templeOS case
TempleOS is 100% open source with all source present.

Public domain just means you waive your copyrights. Unlicense is a license that helps you get your piece of software into public domain and is OSI approved. I prefer public domain over permissive licenses because it is easier to release a gpl version of them over permissive licenses (public domain does not have any restrictions). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-domain_software

Does RMS fit in the picture here? The founder of the fsf and GNU.

I kinda agree with him as an artist. It makes me sad to see people generate art with ai when they could've made a noobie drawing that will still be far much better than the ai one. Ai art can be so weird as well.

Ubuntu's Rustification Has a New Milestone! Coreutils Migration is Complete
The corporate adoption on uutils already started.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/core-utils/overview
Windows is now using uutils for their coreutils. I want to see if Microsoft gives back anything to the project with that permissive license. Also, aren't canonical and Microsoft partners or something? I saw the Ubuntu wsl news.

Are there any other display servers aside from Wayland and X11 with its forks?
There is pheonix, and it is written fully in zig. I think it is a X11 protocol built from scratch, but will include modern features like HDR and VRR. It will also become compatible with Wayland apps along the way. I do not know the status, and I did not do much research on it.

Copyleft/open source Project Recommendations Please
The GNU Hurd. Keep laughing, it will get there.
Edit: instead of outright promoting the GNU Hurd, I will give my reasons.
The architecture of the Hurd is very scalable compared to other kernels. It does not need much rewriting to adapt to modern technology. Rewriting the Hurd in rust is much easier than other kernels.
It is a GNU project so if it does succeed, we can spread the Free software philosophy to others. It also means that corpo's cannot influence it.
It is GPLv2 or later, so that is nice to have.
It holds all the benefits of a microkernel.
There is probably more, but they are not as important to me personally.

GeForce NOW's Linux app exits beta, gets official Flatpak repo - OMG! Ubuntu
Reply in thread
It could be, but it's now in the hands of the same evil corporations that made some guys start GNU and shit.
GNU was started because of a broken printer. Jokes aside, RMS got upset that the company that manufactured the printer could not give the source code for him to modify it to make the printer better. That is when he founded the gnu project and the fsf.
