What does AI-booted mean? The boot process is deterministic. Why does it need AI?
I don't want my bootloader to be creative or generate novel outputs. I want it to boot quickly, reliably, and the same way every time unless I change something I probably wasn't supposed to.
What part of that could AI even be conceivably inserted into?
"Initializing gobbledygook— not just a process, but a the first of many processes which will activate in sequence to bring your computer from powered-down to ready-to-use! Beep boop."
It means the developer let Claude write some slop and then went home early to play with their kids. He's not a chump like Linus working all weekend to make things right.
What, don't you want a boot process that offers a different surprise every day?
For that you should choose Arch
btw
Touché.
Windows does that already.
