I'd assume having everything open source is also ideal

Having heavily used AI to write a lot of really finicky stuff, yeah, more than once I've said "well, uh . . . can you go download the KDE sourcecode and figure out what's causing this?"

"Sure! I'll give that a shot."

and twenty minutes later it's hand-analyzed the entire failure chain and has a clever workaround.

. . . Of course, given how good it is at reverse engineering, this is starting to be less restricted to open-source. I haven't yet asked it to go decompile Windows, but that might happen at some point.

Ya ive thought myself that Wine and Libreoffice will get really good soon.  Breaking that proprietary lock.

Wine will never use AI for legal protection. Windows could sue them if they accidentally used leaked Microsoft code.
