I Assumed that KDE are likely to go this way, and already plan to return to XFCE, or to no idea what
I’m not aware of my distros plans though…
XFCE is already a lost cause. The new window manager for wayland is slop coded.
fml
I was holding off on going back to xfce due to them apparently still not being on top of wayland
Going to have to revisit all the de’s again apparently. I started with xfce only a few years ago, eventually moved to kde, not seeing the point of any of the other ones I tried along the way.
river is cool and pretty anti-slop
Harder to setup than Plasma or XFCE though.
I have extensively researched most DE’s stance on AI/LLMs.
Virtually all of them allow AI code contributions.
KDE, Gnome, MATE, Xfce, Cosmic, Budgie, TDE (Trinity), LXQt, Qtile, i3… All of them use or allow AI code.
The only major DE I’m unsure about is Cinnamon, but they never responded to someone asking for their stance.
This list contains pretty much the ONLY DE/WM projects that explicitly refuse AI. It’s a very small list.
For those of us trying to avoid AI slop and copyright asbestos nightmares, the situation is dire.
You can still use the old window manager. Or just use X11. To my knowledge at least, XFCE is not going Wayland-exclusive.
I guess this list is handy
