If you remove the M from BDSM, you've cut out all the Arch users anyway. So yeah, BSD makes sense.

Stick to Linux but run on risc-v.
Throw out all higher technology and exclaim how this makes you superior constantly.

BSD.
Sit back and enjoy our collective triumph over capitalist technology.
BSD ?
What universe are you living in that Linux is mainstream? According to the steam hardware survey (which is the closest thing to a trustworthy census we have for operating system usage) Linux accounts for 3.58%. Congratulations, we're ahead of mac! Windows still has 94.23%. But this is the year of the Linux desktop!
Its a shitpost but I've definitely felt more people migrating over. Like if you go on reddit gaming communities a decade ago no one talked about Linux but not theirs Linux advocates people complain about. Steam deck is now a thing, LTT did a linux challenge, Pewdiepie told people to install Linux. It's if you talk to random people on the street they probably don't know what my bloody valentine is. But if you talk to some Music nerds and tell them yk about this niche artist called mbv they would all laugh at you
