From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Are you saying this after reading the rationale behind the options?
I read 1, 7, and 8, as they appeared to be the options not just saying 'ai yay'. I stopped reading each of those options when they appeared to turn into contrary bullshit. I very briefly scanned some of the other options.
None of them appeared to prohibit the inclusion of ai. The verbosity comes across as deliberate, rather than informative to me, knowing how much people scan these days.
I have debian installed on my 2 pc's, but do not actively use it, and this would be my first insight/interaction with the people behind it, and the 'community'. If this poll is the 1st step in the process, I have to question why the 1st step was not simply ai: yes, or no. With a result of yes = empty partitions where I used to have debian.
Is that a real question, or do you use ai?
Do you want me being more direct? I'm asking whether you read the linked texts. I'm not making any judgement. I do have a judgement on the explanations given tho: too short. The ballot text is too vague.
