Some of that reads really funny.

Feels more like a software discovery list than an indictment. Thanks for the categorization.

This list seems...odd. For instance, the list decries the permissive AI policy of the Linux kernel, of Fedora, of Bazzite/Bluefin/etc...and then includes Secureblue as an alternative...?

Secureblue is a neat project, but as you say, this would make more sense as a generic discovery list. If you want to avoid projects with a permissive AI policy, you should probably take into account that Secureblue is based on bluebuild (from the Bazzite team), Fedora, Linux, etc etc etc.

> software discovery list

You're not kidding, I feel like this is better than most of those awesome-X lists that were popular for a while.

Yeah, I saw this "open-slopware" list listing many battle-tested web servers as "permissive AI policy", while one of the alternatives (not all though, some inherit battle-testing) isn't really battle-tested. In fact, I saw entangled codebase and not-so-good coding practices.

It is indeed a list, though not everyone will use it the same way!

But will you still feel this way once you try to actually use that software?
