Description:
From Operating Systems to Web Browsers. There's lots of Woke Software out 
there. Let's take a look at some decidedly NON-Woke options.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Theres a heck of a lot of Woke Software out there.  Especially in the Open 
Source world. 

What, exactly, is Woke Software?  Glad you asked.  Because Ive defined it. 

Simple, right? 

Im sure we can all think of some examples. Mozilla Firefox , NixOS , Godot , 
and a whole mountain of others . 

But what about Non -Woke Software?  You know software which doesnt hate you 
for being a normal person? 

Luckily there is a growing number of decidedly Non-Woke options.  And, even 
better, some of them are truly outstanding.  Below I have collected my 
personal favorites as of August of 2025. Operating Systems 

Multiple Non-Woke Linux Distributions (and even a few BSD options) are 
available. 

 OpenMandriva - A classic Linux distribution. 

 GhostBSD - A FreeBSD based distro focused on usability. 

 Omarchy - An Arch + Hyprland configuration. 

 Devuan - A fork of Debian without SystemD. 

I can personally vouch for the quality of all of those options.  They are all 
unique and worth taking for a test-drive. 

My personal favorite?  OpenMandriva. Web Browsers 

As of right now, there are two web browsers I can recommend. 

 Brave - A Chromium based browser focused on privacy and ad blocking. 

 Ladybird - A from-scratch browser (not yet usable for a daily driver). 

Though, honestly, only Brave is truly usable, right now, as a daily driver.  
But Ladybird is making such rapid progress that it seems worth including in 
this list to keep an eye on. E-Mail Clients 

If youre looking for a desktop Email client, theres really only one 
noteworthy option at the moment. 

 Betterbird - A fork of Mozilla Thunderbird. 

While Betterbird has not made a point of being Non-Woke, they are a fork of 
Mozilla Thunderbird.  And Mozilla is the king of Open Source Wokeness. Other 
Software 

Heres a few Non-Woke pieces of software which just dont fit in the other 
categories.  Hopefully, as the quantity of decidedly Non-Woke, quality 
software grows, well have enough to add a few additional categories. 

 Redot - A fork of the Godot game engine. 

 XLibre - A fork of the Xorg X11 Server. 

 Hyprland - A Wayland window manager / Desktop Environment. 

 SQLite - A small, fast SQL database engine. 

Once again, all quality, recommended software. 

While this list may not be a mile long, its growing  and many of these 
projects are seeing significant success.  Which is pretty fantastic.
