The second half of our interview with Nate Graham that covers the policies and costs of AI in KDE. According to Nate, and we tend to agree, setting up policies that are unenforceable will simply encourage those that want to circumvent the policy to do so, and just not tell anybody. How hard is it to remove a CLAUDE md file anyway?

But of course, there's only so much you can lament AI and LLM's incursion into everything Linux, so we end up getting back on how KDE Linux works with the update deltas, the fact that we've been daily driving it for months (at least Dan has!), easy rollbacks, full disk encryption's future, and the road to getting it on real hardware off the shelf.

We've asked Nate to come back again sometime to give us more updates on KDE and KDE Linux, so keep an eye out for that!

Agree 100% with Nate here. Policies should be enforceable. The genie is out of the bottle.

    Snapper with Btrfs have proved very useful those few times where some update has failed with openSUSE Tumbleweed. This has been my daily driver for the last 10 years or so, and have never had to re-install due to failed updates.

    Nate put it wonderfully. There's a reason why, for example, hand-made musical instruments are valued more than mass produced
