From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You're mistaking me I guess. I'm not blaming ai, I would even be fine with linux maintainers using ai tools, as assistant, not as vibe tools. Even though I know people dislike even just the idea.
I'm blaming cybersecurity people and corps to make a big deal out of every single CVE. They'll use AI tools to search breaches and no one will say anything. But dare a maintainer touch IA and then it's hell on earth.
Most of the time, the CVEs are irrelevant to any real life situation. It's not a bad thing these get fixed, but in the end stories get inflated that softwares are not protected, and cybersecurity gets into big success story talks, thinking they contributed to something when really they mostly waste people time.
