Completely performative.
You build your OS atop thousands of open source packages, many of which contain AI generated code. Are you going to audit them one by one and remove offending packages? What about the ones you won't remove because the OS would be irreparably broken?

  I agree.
  PopOS is Ubuntu with extra problems. Ubuntu itself is fine, but then PopOS adds weirdness.
  Cosmic has been in beta for how long ?

    It's been out of alpha/beta for almost a year

    I daily drove the alphas before the betas, and of course there were a couple rough edges. But I had a minimal working desktop instead of sway or KDE/Gnome (too heavy).
    It has been releasing non-betas for a good year now, and it's been a smooth sailing.

    Huh? Cosmic is out, there's some bugs still but its pretty nice.
