They're political, just not explicit. You're confusing political with ideological. And, even then, ideological is just following some -ism. Which are everywhere

Personally, I'm not interested in a Linux distribution which is expressive about being 'anti-fascism', but I am very glad they declare they are. Its a sure notion (red flag) that I don't want to get involved.
And a distribution, by its very nature, is making choices. Which default for X or Y, which package manager, which kernel, which licenses, etc etc.
As software developed by neonazis: personally, if I'd know that to be true, I'd be wary of such software. YMMV.
- Asdrubalini 4y agoHonestly I have never experienced anything political officially from the Arch Linux team and I have been using it for five years. They have always been pretty pragmatic as they say, and technical choices are not political in the sense we are talking about (or could be in some cases like licenses, but Arch Linux lets you do pretty much whatever you want).
