Are there any non-political distributions to switch to? Since I'm a free

Unfortunately people now seem to think that everything they touch, and
everything they get involved in, needs to be "activist".  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.

Ah, maybe that could be another haven perhaps!
