I already have the distros downloaded that are against this.
If it comes for my favorite distro that I use everyday I will immediately uninstall it and instance one of the ones that isn’t bending over to let Uncle Sam and others take them from behind.
All they had to do was say they wouldn’t support people from the places that those laws were or would be enacted in. That’s it. That’s all they fucking had to do.
I will also add that it disappoints me so so much that so many of my fellow Linux enthusiasts aren’t more upset or even just plain old cautious about this.
It actually hurts my head to think about. I don’t get it. Don’t we all usually have about the same goals in mind with this? Open, meaning not invasive. Not windows (spyware) and no telemetry meaning privacy respecting?
What the fuck is happening?
So far I have Ageless and regular Debian but the Debian devs haven’t taken a hard stance either way yet, that’s still better than taking a stance for it. At least there is some resistance. Adenix as well.
And while not Linux I’m about to install freeBSD on a spare laptop as well and if they take a stance for it I’ll use MidnightBSD or GhostBSD.
