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.

i would strongly prefer a label to easily filter with as a first pass plus not all slop has an agents.md or claude.md but can still be riddled with bugs and security vulnerabilities
That goes for AI and human made software. You should only use security critical software that is trusted by the community.
sure, that's true, but if we are being serious do you think software made nearly exclusively by a human (or humans) who care or software made mostly by a non-deterministic token generator working on behalf of a human who couldn't bother to write the code themself is more likely to be maintained long enough to gain community trust
Using AI isn't just a sign of laziness. I don't see an issue with using the tools available to do something in less time than usual. If a program is vibe coded then of course it's usually going to be of bad quality, but if it's a mix of human and human checked AI then it can still be a high quality project.
