@PurpCat What was the first one?

@xianc78 hyprland

@PurpCat Oh that. I think this is different because this is an actual "professional" project run by a non-profit organization with a president going by his real name.

@xianc78 On one hand nobody was even giving two shits and a fuck about OpenMandriva before this. Just look at the SourceForge metrics. Most people running Linux are going to run the same 4 distros everyone else runs.

On the other hand, I love seeing the LGBT community and how much they have a persecution complex when they are not catered to at every whim. But these are the people who will kill themselves when they don't get their way, so...

He proves that Isreal is our greatest ally

@PurpCat @33c74427f3b2b73d5e38f3e6c991c122a55d204072356f71da49a0e209fb6940 He got into some hot water back in 2018 where he made full podcasts exclusive to donors on Patreon while only posting clips on YouTube. It got so bad that people were posting antisemitic slurs in his comments so he disabled comments on all of his videos. I think that's when Luke Smith got popular because he was basically the polar opposite of Lunduke in a lot of ways.

He seemed to make a comeback in recent years because he has been exposing woke and pro-WEF agendas in the tech-industry (FOSS or otherwise), and Luke Smith has stopped making videos as of 2023.

@xianc78 @PurpCat @33c74427f3b2b73d5e38f3e6c991c122a55d204072356f71da49a0e209fb6940 Luke Smith is still around, but he's been focusing on Orthodoxy since his last trip to Europe. Don't expect much GNU nor Linux videos though.

@berkberkman @PurpCat @33c74427f3b2b73d5e38f3e6c991c122a55d204072356f71da49a0e209fb6940 To be fair, his videos started to become more philosophy based ever since he started homesteading. It was never really a tech channel. It was more of a philosophy/life-advice channel with some Linux tutorials in them.

@PurpCat What really perked my interest was not their anti-woke stance, but rather there stance on being independent form Big-Tech as much as possible. Case in point, they bundle Ungoogled-Chromium as the default browser instead of vanilla Firefox like every other distro does. Granted, it's not a perfect solution since it's still reliant on Chromium's upstream, but still. If LadyBird becomes a viable alternative, I picture them switching to that instead.

@xianc78 i'm gonna give it a try on another laptop I have for this purpose given I already have Devuan on another laptop or two

@PurpCat I'm probably going to try it too, just to see if it's worth recommending. Linux Mint has been my go to recommendation for years, but them actually working with Mozilla and censoring Lunduke's last name on their forums has given me second thoughts.

@PurpCat @xianc78 The irony of people with literal rotting flesh neovaginas calling anyone with remotely conservative views “rotting flesh that must be cut out of the project.”

@bonifartius I do not trust any FOSS convention hosted in the EU.

@xianc78 i unfortunately have to agree. c3 is independent from sponsors but ccc is ultra woke now. not much else i know of that isn't adjacent to ccc.

@bonifartius Are they independent from EU funding. Remember that the EU funds a lot of FOSS projects which gives them a good number of influence in the FOSS community.
