I wrote off ubuntu for good 13 years ago when they let amazon advertise in the OS.

Yeah at this point I don't even consider them an option. They've been shit for ages.

“We’re making plans on how to integrate agentic workflows into Ubuntu for those who want it in a way that feels tasteful, aligned with our user base and respectful of our privacy and security values.”

Hmm, why does the concept of an agentic OS sound so familiar …

"for those that want it" does offer some hope that it's not going to go to shit.

Technically, Ubuntu is behind the curve not at the forefront on this. Universal Blue already includes quite a bit of AI stuff and Fedora has had drafted plans for a while.

Hah yeah I spoke to Jon about this stuff at KubeCon. I said something like "Try to keep up!" :)

Lots of common tooling in this space though and getting more attention to open models can only help.
