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?

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:
