This is pretty funny, as after OpenSUSE went all woke and discriminatory, booting out people not far left enough, they can’t seem to get board candidates. It is actually sad as I started with OpenSUSE, the free and open Linux version which was the development platform for the commercial offering. At the time I was dual booting, but trying to exist solely in Linux. And I ran it for a couple years before I went to Slackware for a couple more years with my Windows partition deleted. By comparison, Lunduke has another video below where he interacted with OpenMandriva’s President, who is pretty far from woke.
OpenMandriva, the non-woke operating system, which looked pretty good when I installed the Rome rolling release version with KDE 6. For me it was a little flaky running in VMware Workstation with 3D graphics acceleration (I blame VMware which is flaky in this regard with many distros other than Debian), which is necessary for getting in the Linux rotation on my Win10 workstation. I may revisit it when Windows is deleted off this machine and I run Linux natively. I did notice that after enabling their other repositories for propietary and non-free, I was missing some applications I use regularly, Mosh and Syncthing (probably torbrowser-launcher too). Their OS uses DNF for package management, or their graphical package interface. And I wouldn’t have support for Mullvad VPN without some compiling as well which looks challenging from the yay process in Arch that automates it for you. But all that is doable when the time comes, especially if Debian continues down the woke path and I’m looking for an alternative. Consequently, there is a lot of non-woke talent out there looking for a home in a free and open operating system, so the future should look pretty bright for some projects to differentiate themselves and scoop up this talent, and there might even be some new distributions that pop up.
