I need a non-gay Linux distro.
What do I mean by that? The skittles squad will infiltrate everything they can, they always have and always will. But anything with any kind of organised structure, they end up killing with DEI politics and agendas. Look at debian, runs like a dying dog compared to prior release, old library support is fucked, and mainline supported alternative releases like arm-debian are no longer properly supported. Why? Because they've been eroded.
look at arch. Kneesock femboys meme crap? Fine whatver, but now the entire distro is militant left.

And now gentoo is having the same problems.

I'm not asking for a right wing distro. I'm not even asking for something hostile to rainbows.
I just want something that cares about computing and computing alone. A true autism Linux.

Inb4: LiNUxwASaLWaYSPoLITicAL

Fuck off. They never cared about the outer spheres of politics outside tech, privacy, data laws or encryption - thus tech.

I want a true autistics distro engineered by other autists.

lol

>>108969514
The fact that Loonix trannies distrohop this much just goes to show they have some underlying mental problem and that their choice to use Linux isn't motivated by technological concerns. Seriously if it was just about an operating system then you wouldn't pay it any mind after setting up Ubuntu but it's not. Go get psychological help.

So contribute and help improve it.

It doesn't exist.

How is it that blacks, gays and transexuals live rent free in your head. Not once when using my computer am I thinking about transexuals but evidently you can't stop thinking about them at all.
>>
>>108969514
So just pick a distro that you like and stop worrying about the political bullshit.
I swear to god people are so easily triggered these days.

Oh right, all the retainers right of Mao have been burned out of it.

Yield to the majority. YOU should care about computing and computing alone. Then other people's politics won't bother you.

You're the one with a damn list of people. I just want a distro that cares about the quality, not about anything else.
that was debian literally 10 years ago. >>108969566

>>108969577
I'm an infrastructure engineer for multiple engineers who need Linux based systems to do their jobs.
When I can't provide sufficient and stable systems for their research and development needs because certain sub projects like arm-debian (for example) have been pushed out, then yes. The politics becomes my problem. The direct correlation of drop in functionality to the amount of devs and maintainers being pushed out of distros over petty politics IS my problem.

So either everyone on this board is larping about being on the spectrum, because I can't understand why no one can understand the connection here of wanting a system that cares about the system and that alone. Or. You're all retarded.

Your inability to mention specifics speaks volumes anon

Dunno, man. It's x86 for life over here. Fedora?
>>
>>108969609
Let me break my nda real quick.

What specifics? Take the step and tell me what specifics I need to add.

It's not difficult.

What is a distro that isn't filled with political agenda issues?
If I find that, I can put effort in providing that as an soe for experimental environments. As long as it has some kind of functionality for me to set up libraries for the dev team to make shit I'm laughing.

Id go with bsd, but it doesn't work with their tools.

Substantiate literally any of your complaints.

Every single one because I'm not twatter addicted algocattle.

Desktop linux is a meme. Use Windows and WSL2, with linux or FreeBSD on your servers.

reminder that not caring about politics extends to not caring if something is political or not

i know what op means however, politics in my experience is never good for a technical project in the long run, but you have to be careful about how you word this. especially since political people interpret any "anti-political" stuff as being "politics, but not MY politics"

in technical spaces politics is a disease
>>
>>108969722
Read the thread and try again.
>>108969679
You're a bit slow, so I'll make it easy for you.
When a project focuses on politics, the project suffers, so I need a project that doesn't have those issues.

>>108969674
Never said I did or was. Refer to my prior posts.
>>108969616
It would be easier going with x86 yeah.
I'm stuck with a lot of constraints.
Some need ARM systems, others can use x86.

Depends on the products they're working on.

All I know is, whatever distro I need, if it had similar functionality to debian I'd be laughing.

Unfortunately backwards compatiblity with libraries is just not working right between 12.x and 13.x releases.
And the in house tools we use are stuck in the mud.

I've reached out to maintainers and even official support, but the few people I know have said anyone worth their salt has been pushed out in recent months.

It's why I'm looking for a non political distro, but the mouth breathers here can't read past the first sentence before jumping to conclusions.
I only come to /g/ because years ago there'd be some solid industry vets lurking. But I'm not confident about the quality anymore.

>>108969751
This isn't homelabbing, it's for built up production environments where hardware devs are making things with custom toolkits.
Gotta be hardware native linux. I'd go with BSD, but it doesn't work with their tools.
>>
>>108969805
It's really funny this guy pretending to be the logical adult in the room when in reality it's very clear than he just encountered an issue and decided to blame it on his one unrelated pet peeve.
Apparently fags hate ARM or smth. Like everyone else has told you. Just grow up.
>>
>>108969805
Politics aside, what exactly is wrong with Debian ARM? Are you having problems because you are stuck trying to run ARMel?
>>
>>108969805
If you need "Serious business" desktop linux, then go with Red Hat or a clone like Alma.
>>
>>108969822
You're so close to getting your reading comprehension star, but you're just not there yet buddy.
Try reading again, and you might understand what we're saying.

>>108969830
Na, wasn't armel.
I'd need to go ask what version they're currently using, pretty sure we started using the arm fork around 2024, but it now has issues between bootloader compatibility and library support.

I'm running between supporting multiple systems , so it's honestly really frustrating me.
It's why I was hoping there was maybe a new gold standard.

Science and engineer projects used to use debian as the gold standard. And other peers are unfortunately still in the phase of trying out different things.
I was hoping to find a bit of a hail Mary here, but instead I attracted window lickers.
>>
>>108969514
linux from scratch or one of the bsds
>>
>>108969903
The only good post, but I bet OP will whine about it instead of accepting the truth
>>
>>108969868
Fair enough. As mentioned I'm x86 only so I can't be of much help. Debian is of course the kind of thing that needs technically capable community to actively support it, though. Hopefully people come back to it, assuming that they ever left.
>>
>>108969805
>I've reached out to maintainers and even official support, but the few people I know have said anyone worth their salt has been pushed out in recent months.
Can you give examples? Who has been pushed out?
>>
>>108969918
On a personal level I've got some dev friends who claim the migration has been towards Devuan, but I have no idea if that's a meme distro or not.

>>108969903
Linux from scratch might end up having to be the path, but it's well beyond my scope.
BSD apparently doesn't work with the dev's tools.
>>
>>108969939
It's a meme in my experience.

>>108969805
>When a project focuses on politics, the project suffers
I already asked you for some specifics and instead of giving me specifics, you lashed out (>>108969662)
Fact is, you have nothing. All you've done this entire thread is post buzzwords and lash out over the slightest pushback because you have absolutely no argument.
>>
>>108969972
Figured as much.

Going to have talks with the team about options then. Was ideally hoping to have a bit more in terms of suggestions prior, but ah well..

To everyone who gave support - cheers.
To the rest - Thanks for keeping 'tard wranglers in the job I guess?

There is no such thing. Linux is corpo slop, funded by corpos, controlled 100% by corpos. The only "open" part of it is where it allows chink 3-letter agencies to plant their backdoors in the Kernel as well as everyone else's.

>>108969514
Ubuntu LTS, corporate just wants it to run. So unless you want a very specific you should be covered

>>108969514
Use Chinese distributions like Deepin.

>When a project focuses on politics, the project suffers, so I need a project that doesn't have those issues.
Your boner for trannies is stealing all the blood from your brain. Read this very slowly so it doesn't go over your head: a giant, decades old project with tons of corporate donations and backing is infinitely better and more reliable than a weekend project made by a single autist. So even if the project "suffers" the other projects have a long way to catch up. If it would be so easy then every corporation would just spin up their own distro. So would you. And asking for a non-political distro rules out anything with more than two people. I can guarantee you that your own company's HR department has a list of rules you would consider political as well.
