So it looks like the woke FOSS crowd has taken notice of OpenMandriva and is boycotting a FOSDEM event that the OpenMandriva co-founder is holding. I'm not familiar with FOSDEM so I don't know if they could get them kicked out of the convention entirely, but I expect these parasites to try to kick them out of as many FOSS spaces as possible.
@PurpCat What was the first one?
@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.
@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.
@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.
