Yes, but it if they make it contraband then the open sharing will stop. If they tell the general public it is used to create illegal porn then it will be seen as nothing else. It still feels like sorcery to me sometimes, these mundies will certainly call it witchcraft and sharpen their pitchforks. If posession is made illegal then very few people will dare to share it. Being labeled a pirate has at least honor, being labeled a pervert is something else.
My point is: I think it is not enough we have models and code, it has to become part of many more people's jobs now so they want to actively protect it and lobby for it.
SD is an amazing tool for basic photo editing, restoration, indie games and simply art. But most non-techie artists I talk to either cry about stolen copyright or some artisan fantasy, claiming real art must be created through diligence. (And then tell me a week later how they just looove Adobe's Firefly and how magic it is).
SD.Next is doing the weirdest things from time to time. The startup script performs various git pull operations on every start so it autoupdates parts of itself, causing itself to break sometimes. Depending on your installed plugins it might execute code from the web.
It does not upgrade itself automatically though.
I recommend deactivating all autoupdate features and/or snapshotting your installation. (For example with an LVM thin volume mounted to its installation directory and snapshotting it before each start, this will also snapshot the python venv stuff).
A difficult comparison - the pencil is more like photoshop or krita. Drawing a (photorealistic) image from scratch requires mechanical skill. SD is something else, like a magical canvas that guides the pencil while you draw...
They could still try to enforce safeguards against generating with certain tokens, or only allow models with certain training data. Or the almighty copyright-claim-banhammer...
While we here know it is futile to censor a model without breaking it - they do not understand it.
They will just claim it "can be used to create illegal pornography" and ban it entirely. And "fix faces" will be a high-risk AI because it can detect faces. 🤦
Only idea I've got to combat this is to make it available to as many people as possible so they can speak in favor of it. Other ideas welcome.

I currently see no advantage in fighting the nvidia driver to get wayland to run - especially if you use your rig for gaming. If the argument is stability then a flaky wayland is no better than the ancient X11.
curious, why would you want that?
the packages are usually built by the distro maintainers for the distro, so if you switch from, say apt to dnf you'd have to take care of repackaging yourself.
report back if it does!
