Yes I know that Cuba, the DPRK, and China have their own distros, but they’re pretty specific to the language and networks of those countries. I use linux because it’s free and open source but I use one of those distros that is privately owned and I’m thinking of upgrading to something that is truly communally owned but also has good compatibility with software, especially scientific software. Any good recs please?

Thanks!

    GNU Guix seems to be your best bet if you’re interested in software preservation and scientific development. It’s written entirely in the GNU Guile language which is a dialect of Scheme, meaning that the project is easily portable to other operating systems. It also allows for the most freedom in distributing packages and maintaining reproducibility.
