So just got into linux and decided to install debian after reviewing the other stable newbfriendly distros (ubuntu, mint, fedora, etc). Decided not to mess with the corporate leaning ones and settled on debian, but just found out theyre also hopping on the popular kill-all-straight-white-goys bandwagon. Should i be concerned and prepare to switch to something else, or is it just a nothingburger and debian should still be trusted? If the former, what distro should i consider instead? From what i read it seems like void linux ticks all the boxes(stable, non-corpo, non-political) besides the newbfriendly part.

>non-political
silence is violence, being non-political means you're a nazi
>>
>>106866671
you forgot that all of us are using nazi technology.
>>
>>106866671
Like what the guy in the video said. The only political ideology a distro should have is fighting against big tech and i agree with that. Thats the only politics shit i wanna accept
Forgot link to the video btw in case anyone wants to see what im on about https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hwtSnO9TA4

just take the devuan pill

>>106866843
My only concern with newer distros is if theyll even be relevant in 10 years. I dont want to get comfy with a distro and then have the rug pulled from under me because they decided to end the project or they slack on developing/maintaining it
>>
>>106866641
There's no such thing as a non-political distro.
Due to the demographics of open source enthusiasts, it's either extreme leftoids or extreme rightoids, and they will shove it in your face first chance they get, from both sides of the aisle.
>>
>>106867058
from what exact distro are devs who are eagerly fighting against big tech corps?
>>
>>106867016
Devuan is over a decade old.
>>
>>106866760
nazi talk
>>
>>106867303
Its first stable release was in 2017. Almost a decade sure but idk, hasnt a bunch of distros in the past lasted for up to a decade before becoming abandoned? The reason why we have so many distros, no?
Btw just reminder im a linuxnoob so if what im saying/thinking isnt entirely accurate then forgive me

Bite the bullet and use Arch

The Linux kernel is the most corporate piece of software on the planet. If you hate corporations, Windows and macOS are far less corporate than Linux, which includes tons of code from Red Hat, Google, Microsoft, Nvidia, Intel, AMD, etc.

Linus is a self admitted communist you can't use Linux without being left. You're just living in denial.

if you're a windows 10 refugee, devuan should be fine. if you're new and wanna learn how linux works though i'd recommend against it. you'll end up stagnating in skill because you aren't being challenged regularly / at all
"stability" doesn't just come from stable packages, it comes from knowing the ins and outs of your system and how to fix it if things go wrong. if you stick with just debian / devuan, fedora, uboongu, arch, etc you limit your ability to adapt if your chosen distro dies, which is a real possibility that you can seem to sense. it exists no matter which one you choose, corpo backing or not
unironically install arch / gentoo. otherwise devuan is fine, just stop thinking and pick a distro
>>
>>106866641
Okay let's take Mint as example. Mint is basically for everyone, it's stable, well known and just werks. Many boomers use Mint and you can imagine their political stance. Even if Mint would think about going ultra woke, they would not do it, because if they mess 50% of their userbase (boomers), then they would also lose the majority of their donors (boomers).
>>
>>106868770
Sounds like pretty sensible advice. Guess ill try out devuan and see how it goes, also nice it defaults with xfce which i prefer.
>>106869606
True. Id opt for mint if they had an lxde version
