AntiX (based on Debian) is the only distro I know of that is developed by vocally anticapitalist leftist devs, even putting “proudly Anti-fascist” on their main page.
They also are one of the few distros to take an anti-LLM stance (though with Debian itself being pro-AI now, it remains to be seen how far they will go to avoid new LLM contributions made to the Debian base).
Not really, just use something normal that’s there to provide software. Fedora (but remember to install video codecs), Arch (but use the AUR with caution), Debian (if you’re okay with using neolithic-age software), SUSE (European Fedora with AppArmor instead of SELinux), Void (but software availability can suffer).
The BSDs seem cool but it really depends on your hardware if you can run them. NixOS is awesome technology but has problematic business relations[1] so you might want to take a look at GNU Guix.
I’m not totally sure what’s going on there. There was something about a community split between Nix (the package manager) and NixOS (the distro) but I don’t remember which side is which. Using NixOS with Lix instead of Nix might be what you want. ↩︎
I don’t know for sure. They announced it one day, but I haven’t really caught that much public discussion before that.
It might also be more accurate to say they switched the default selection, since you are able to select the MAC solution in the installer of the desktop versions, it’s just that SEL is now the default selection instead off AppArmor.
Antix, pretty cool Debian-based distro made by (at least nominally self proclaimed) antifascists. I guess we could also count some socialist-backed distros like Nova linux.
Beyond distros though, I’d say there are plenty of left leaning people working on various projects, such as Gnome.
Operating system gives a framework, so it has the potential to change mindset on workflow alone, similar to how our mind operate differently while playing two different racing games. though operating systems has yet to see their rennesance.
What are some some good distributions on the other end? Is there like a communist, ally software distribution? Everything is political.
basically whatever the FSF/GNU makes. check out Guix if you can put up with learning a little Lisp.

AntiX is really great 👍
I mean, Redstar… I think that’d technically that’d be socialist, though.
More seriously, I think most of the non-fork distros don’t tolerate that crap. Think Arch, Debian, Void, etc.
Something I’m keeping an eye on is this project. No clue what, if anything, will come of it.
Personally, I use Artix, and I’m considering NetBSD. I’m also consodering making my own Unix-like distro, possibly using the NetBSD kernel.

SUSE is now on SELinux too.
Oh really? Why did they switch?

This was the mail they announced the change in: https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/factory@lists.opensuse.org/message/YN4TCBCU4A2V5G2MWR5EWYF46267BO7F/

Never looked into that. Maybe Alpine though?
