But is there any OS to abandon it to? Windows has probably always been spyware, but it’s getting increasingly blatant—and also incompetent and DEI—about it. Apple is, of course, a brand entirely built on the hipster/socjus image, so that’s no alternative. Being fed up with one or both of those two big players is usually the impetus to jump to Linux. Where does one jump from Linux?

The big barrier for Linux is already that it’s infamously filled with the need to troubleshoot to make things work with it, and it’s the third-place player. I can’t imagine that an even more obscure OS would be better in that respect.

Makes you wonder how much Microsoft funding all those DEI events and initiatives played a role.

MS also sponsors Linux projects, controlled competition is how they get around antitrust laws. This DEI shit definitely helps to prevent such projects from ever becoming the golem that turns on its master, since huge conglomerates like MS can literally afford to deal with the consequences of pozz in a way that OSS dev teams can't.

As I understand it each Linux distro is its own operating system, even if they're similar or build off each other. So if one distro gets infested with trannies you can always hop to another. The trick is finding a distro that gate keeps.

They're their own operating system insofar as they are distributed by different organizations with different goals. But they all use some version of the Linux kernel, and are largely collections of lots of other open source software in various combinations based on the distro's goals.

I haven't dived into the legalese, but is there any reason the Kernel itself can't be forked?

Nope. Kernel is open sourced and can be forked just like everything.

The only impediment is institutional inertia.

One of the BSDs. Though they don't have quite the support as Linux.

Not FreeBSD:

And lest we forget Randi Harper, one of the former developers for FreeBSD and a prominent voice in anti-GG?

OpenBSD has one for its mailing list but it's pretty benign:

And does have one thing lacking from other CoC's:

Respect differences in opinion and philosophy.
