Okay, I understand that Linux Mint can be Ubuntu or Debian… But as a Mint user, would these changes even take place on my end? I don’t entirely understand how these versions are forked. I don’t believe I use Ubuntu… But is mint just built on a new Ubuntu infrastructure?
So from my cursory research (I am a Debian user for context) it sounds like base mint is based off of Ubuntu and LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) is directly based off of Debian.
The fact that Mint is based on Ubuntu does not necessarily mean that these Ai features will make it in. The Mint maintainers are still in charge of what comes prepackaged in the distro and can remove what they/the community does not like. I’m not sure on their alignment/history so I can’t say for sure which way they will go.
If you use LMDE then the Mint maintainers don’t need to remove the Ai features wince they were never in there in the first place.
Sorry I can’t give you a direct yes or no… And this might be a lot of info that you already knew but hopefully this helps some others too.
No, honestly, this is a great explanation. That’s how I basically thought it works, but I’m very new to the ecosystem, and didn’t want to make assumptions.
But I have since switched to debian and honestly I have not run into many issues that I didn’t already have with pop. I just like having something more bare bones but not as bare bones as arch.

Can someone smarter than me please help? Lol

No worries.
I used to use Ubuntu and then pop_os!
