There will always be alternative distros to choose from, linux allows me to choose what runs on my machine, as opposed to being dictated by Microsoft and Apple.
Linux is also rapidly integrating AI. While Linux may offer more privacy controls and open-source transparency, major Linux distros like Red Hat (IBM) just announced in February 2025 their plans to integrate AI into Fedora and GNOME, and GNOME just released Newelle 1.0 in August 2025—a full AI assistant that can execute terminal commands, manage files, and do voice chat.
There are also entire Linux distributions like Ubuntu AI, Fedora AI, and Pop!_OS AI specifically built for AI integration. So switching to Linux won't help you escape AI integration—it's happening across all major operating systems.
