Yes I know that Cuba, the DPRK, and China have their own distros, but they’re pretty specific to the language and networks of those countries. I use linux because it’s free and open source but I use one of those distros that is privately owned and I’m thinking of upgrading to something that is truly communally owned but also has good compatibility with software, especially scientific software. Any good recs please?

Thanks!

    Do you consider Ubuntu evil, and why? I know it’s owned by a private company (ugh) but searching around apparently it’s still open source

      I don’t think I consider any open-source Linux to be evil. As I say, by being fully and properly open-source, it’s copyable at a moment’s notice. So any of them are inherently held to a much higher standard than any closed ecosystem. It’s like giving people the ability to seize the means of OSing with the click of a button.
