I wish people would stop acting as if their customized debian/ubuntu derivatives are distributions in their own right. I can't that say I expected more than that from Lunduke though. I'll never understand how someone could build a career of being weirdly political about tech by railing against politics in tech.
He is not weirdly political, he has just more normal views, I know that is something hard to grasp for some tech bro.

He is popular, because tech is overrun by woke weirdos, of course it finds an audience when someone has a bit of common sense that resonates with normal people.

The wording may be me be best. Instead, he should just say "no woke bullshit".

But obviously he gets only hate from the HN crowd.

I like system, I like the rust rewrite of the coreutls, but I HATE that they picked MIT instead of GPLv3, so I not even agree with all of this. I use dash to panel and a bunch of other Gnome extensions, no need for anything else either.

LOL. I'm not a "tech bro", I work in a donut shop. I know perfectly well what normal is. Lunduke and the other anti-woke types are just as weird and far more annoying than the people they incessantly complain about.
Can you define woke? I think the term is meaninglessly broad at this point, so I'm curious how you'd define it. (A definition, not examples, please)
Not OP; but I would define it as a cluster of specific and strongly held opinions on several topics, such as race/ethnicity, sex, migration, climate change. These opinions cluster together, and produce certain recognizable behaviors including speech petterns, speech taboos, and aggressiveness towards people who do not share these opinions.
Could you not define MAGA in exactly the same way? The opinions are different, but since you haven't said what they are, the definition works for either.
Very cool GPL licenced readme and screenshots /s. The lengths this man will go to avoid queer people in tech is staggering.
