Summary
Both Ubuntu and Fedora have made it official: support is coming soon for running local generative AI instances. An epic and still-growing thread in the Fedora forums states one of the goals for the next version: the Fedora AI Developer Desktop Objective. Fedora Project Lead Jef Spaleta, who took over the role from Matthew Miller a year ago, remains resolute, saying:. The reporter has zero evidence in front of me that users are being driven away from Fedora because of AI. As far as Red Hat’s community distribution goes, while this may be controversial, this should not be a big shock.
