Ubuntu’s AI plans have Linux users looking for a ‘kill switch’
Canonical's plan to add AI features to Ubuntu has sparked user concerns, with some requesting a version without AI or a 'kill switch' to disable it. Others have indicated they may stick to older Ubuntu versions or switch to alternative Linux distributions. Canonical's VP of engineering, Jon Seager, clarified that no global AI kill switch is planned, but users can disable specific features.
