Well, GNOME and Mozilla are emphasizing on DIE practices rather than
improving their product to a point that both are now looking like
they're going to go bankrupt. Redhat and IBM have also both expressed a
desire to prioritize employment for anyone who isn't white and
heterosexual. Debian has moved in that direction as well and now the
people behind Arch are stating that right-wing ideas are unwelcome among
them. Elementary OS had already been pretty clear about their hatred of
conservatives for years. It seems that meritocracies are of no interest
in the development of Linux. Since that is becoming the case, I'll just
use whatever works best.

 
You keep saying that, but Gnome is an Open Source Project (and so is
Firefox) so they're not going to go "bankrupt." As for "improving their
product" the fact that I can still use a real version of uBlock Origin on
Firefox makes it superior to Chrome and its derivatives now that they've
moved to Manifest 3 and a more "controlled" environment.
 
You've got to quit reading "lunduke" if you're searching for objectivity —
he obviously has an anti-Linux ax to grind.

Actually, he's very much an advocate for Linux. Heck, he was on the
openSUSE board of directors for a while and even worked on the LibreM
from Purism. The guys is definitely not open-source, just anti-woke in
open-source.

Okay, but he seems to be in love with "the Linux sky is falling" whenever
there's any kind of issue with Linux. Like that CUPS issue that was so
"dangerous" — which turned out to be a huge yawn. And he played it out for
weeks. Maybe he's just using this kind of stuff as click bait. It's not
drawing me in.
