    It’s a shame that a fascist aligned distro is sullying the Void name by attempting to re-base on it.

        See my other post. They deliberately sought out fascist projects to align with.

            I didn’t say it was proof of anything, it’s a statement of fact and an answer to a question. PeppermintOS has aligned itself with Devuan and XLibre. If you feel that is not factual, read the linked article as well as PeppermintOS’s website where they explicitly state they are associated with Devuan as an alternative base.

            There is nothing “unsubstantiated” about what I said. Why are you calling me a liar?

              Do we have any proof that they aligned themselves with these projects because they are fascist? I’m not calling you a liar. If what you say is true is true than I’d sure like to know. I used to love Peppermint OS back when I first got started with Linux. I’d be very upset to hear they are intentionally seeking out fascist projects to align themselves with.

                I can’t speak to the thoughts of the team, but I see it this way. You align yourself with one fascist project, maybe you didn’t know. You align yourself with two fascist projects and it becomes a pattern. You get endorsed by fucking Lunduke and it’s as clear as day.

    So what exactly is peppermintos? As far as main page it looks like they took debian without systemd and decided that it’s too mainstream still and they should focus on being x-server only distro.

      Pretty close. They went for Devuan, a fascist-run distro, because it doesn’t have systemd. They went for XLibre, a fascist-run, vibe-coded xorg fork, because it’s not Wayland. Now they are trying to bring their garbage-ridden project to Void for…some reason.

        Do you mind elaborating? How is Devuan a ‘fascist-run’ distribution ?

          It is fully endorsed by Bryan Lunduke, a well known hard core right wing extremist who spouts Nazi talking points all the fucking time, and Devuan has embraced and welcomed that endorsement. Lunduke has called Devuan a champion of the “anti-woke, anti-Leftist community”. Given its core team proudly acknowledges and accepts that shitstain’s endorsement, what would you call it?

            A short research was enough to find out way too much about that guy. He even has his own non-woke fork (a phrase I find pretty hilarious) of Devuan, but Devuan’s team ‘embracing’ him or his ideas is nowhere to be seen, so…sauce ?
