TriOS is a human-driven project. While some portions of its codebase, documentation, or supporting materials may have been created, reviewed, or optimized with AI, **the majority of the work is written, reviewed, and maintained by human beings**.
4

5
+
AI may be used in the following limited ways:
6
+
- To accelerate repetitive scripting or packaging tasks.
7
+
- To assist in documentation drafting or proofreading.
8
+
- To suggest optimizations or identify potential issues during development.
9
+
- To research information related to the project.
10
+
11
+
All AI-assisted contributions are fact-checked and verified by humans to prevent the typical issues with AI-generated code.
12
+
This ensures that TriOS remains transparent, reliable, and true to its intended design and purpose.
13
+
14
+
The core idea is simple: "There should always be a human somewhere in the loop."
15
+
16
+
If you discover content that appears to have originated from AI and have questions about its origin, please open an issue in the [TriOS repository](https://github.com/TriangularDev/TriOs/issues) for clarification.

I am yet to find a disto that provides a balanced system that is easy to set up, stays out of the way, and supports both everyday use and demanding workflows.

I used to use Linux Mint to fulfill these needs, but the overhead of abstraction has made everyday usage difficult.
