honestly, I just hope that if Fedora will have any AI, it will always remain opt-in. And that there will always be an option to disable it.
I don’t know whether Fedora devs welcome user feedback/requests like that, but if they do, I’d love to reach out to them properly, if I knew how to.
Of course this will be exactly like that. Opt-in is debateable, “forced choice” would be another (you need to actively click yes or no) as people just skip everything and click away setup dialogs…
thank you, that’s reassuring to hear. I guess I sort of live under a rock; I genuinely don’t have a clear idea of what to expect in cases like this (I would’ve never arrived at the conclusion “of course it will be like that”). I guess I’m not alone on that, must be one of the reasons such questions appear in the first place.
it would be very neat to have AI never be enabled in the first place (during system installation, or after it), rather than having to disable it after install. So the “forced choice” seems better.
Best option is after installing welcome pop-up screen where you can enable third-party repos in same we can ask do you want to install and enable local AI on your system of course on those that support it and have NPU etc

Note that an NPU is just a fancy GPU. GPUs are often better, NPUs are just more energy efficient
