It's not practical, and it's a lot of effort, and it's too costly, but you could use a different operating system. Find an employer who doesn't use that operating system. The "cutting-off-your-nose-to-spite-your-face" option.

You can't solve children starving in Africa at the same time as you solve racial inequality in the American justice system. It's fine to just pick a couple issues and do what you can. If your contribution to open source is pestering your boss about it regularly, well, there you go. Yell about it on Twitter a bit as well, maybe write your congressperson. There's options.
