I don't even know where to start. Let me just say it that by using LLMs you voluntarily decide to let the atrophy happen to your skills, knowledge and experience. You do things without understanding them, or with vague understanding only. Your thinking process becomes completely dependent on something that you find more and more difficult to verify (if you even care). Why would anyone do such a thing to oneself?
> The contract is that the syscalls and low-level interfaces match those of NT, but not the daemons or how the kernel itself is structured. This is in contrast to what ReactOS aims to do, which is an exact recreation of Windows.
Khm, ackshually... any documentation work is best not left to LLMs. They are excellent at generating many words with little value. Even sketching a doc and running through an LLM although a bit better than just a prompt "generate docs from this code" still suffers from similar problems. I prefer to write briefly, but doing it myself.
OTOH - formatting and other stuff not related to content, this is great to delegate, even though the results are often mediocre, but I really don't care about that at this point.
Of all scenarios, based on the data we have now, this seems to be the least likely one.
What do you mean, "IAM always worked"? The last failure was very recent, only a year ago[0]

This happened to me on booking.com, twice. The host didn't allow prepayment, and when the payment time arrived, they cancelled saying there is a problem with the credit card. I tried to contact them but they didn't respond. Booking.com didn't care. From that time on I generally prefer hotels than private apartments.
Do you blame them? You not only have to pay double for the infra but also be charged for inter-region data transfers. And, when the worst comes, you realize it was all for nothing as IAM doesn't work, for example.
And the success of things like ESP32 shows that good price + good enough is a powerful combination.
I haven't found anything in parent's post about illegality, only low ethics. These two are often confused which is a pity.
First, Linux was never GNU - the GNU ecosystem has always been a significant part, but if you were obstinate enough, you could get away without using any GNU tools (which is even easier today).
Second, you give just two examples. A few years ago we had a trend to rewrite everything in Rust with these newer tools usually not being part of the GNU project. Sure, you can replace everything now. However, most GNU tools are here to stay for a long time especially in enterprise distros where backward compatibility is important.
So no, Linux has never been GNU, and whatever fluctuations we had over decades with innumerable fights like egcs vs gcc etc., the GNU ecosystem is and will long be part of Linux distros.
FWIW, thank you for making this choice.
