What > distribution are you using at the moment? Sigh, yes this is true. But, at least I am benefiting from this. My company has a strict "no woke" policy, and due to that, I get highly skilled people to work for me as consultants who would throw up if they had to work for big IT with their woke ideology! =) I use opensuse at the moment, but based on what I've read they've gone woke. So next time I reinstall it is probably time to change. Based on very shallow research it looks as if perhaps Alpine linux and Freebsd might be two communities who don't explicitly reject conservatives. > > I'm using Debian, and I haven't seen anything overtly political, but > then, I haven't looked into it that deep.
