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.

I've never liked Lunduke. To me he was an opportunists playing both
sides of the debate between Linux and other operating systems.
As I have not watched him in a few years maybe things have changed but in the
past he seemed to focus on minor things that maybe most Linux users would
not encounter or if they did, easy work around would exist.
He is interesting but not my cup of whisky.
I'm a MX Linux user running kde.

That's my impression. He seems to be self-promoting all the time, usually
with click bait.
