The problem is that nearly every business distributing Linux is as bad or nearly as bad as Microsoft and Apple when it comes to DEI and hating conservatives.
Watch a little of the following Youtube video if you want the answer to the following question... “With Red Hat pulling their DEI garbage, Ubuntu going all in on Snap, and SUSE... lol... it's seeming like Debian or Arch might be the only way to go? Let's exclude the “New User Distros” (like Mint or Pop) — what would you recommend for a technically savvy Linux user in 2024?”
OpenMandriva - a non-Woke Open Source project is the most obvious answer.
Mandriva (not Open) was the first Linux distro I ever used... 25 years ago? Then it seemed like they disbanded or something...
Thing is the DEI and woke is not what bothers me. The whole tech industry is like that, there is absolutely no way to escape that aspect. My complaints come from years and years of MS business policies and practices that outright create hardships and abuse their customers. Their arrogant attitude is “if you want to compute you have to let us stomp on you any way we like because we own you and your computer”.
Nope... Not going to grovel to that arrogant attitude from ANYONE or ANY product. I’ll change my whole lifestyle and live without it before I kiss anyone’s feet like that. I’m sick of corporations who think they own you just because you bought their product. Especially when there are indeed options that are just as good or better. I can live just fine without Turbotax or “that one game” to be rid of them.
