Unless you are stupid or trying to curry favour with the Orange Idiot ?

In a data center the repair tech needs to walk past a few racks to replace what is broken. With this setup s/he will need to drive somewhere, fix whatever, drive back - assuming that the remote diagnostics were correct and that they brought the right parts first time.

Nobody is saying that AI should not be on Ubuntu - they just want the ability to easily not have it. Ie have the choice - which is what Linux systems are famous for.

In Japan unemployment was 2.7% in March 2026. So either they are not paying enough to get staff or they are not telling the truth.
