Reading about FOSS philosophy, degoogling, becoming against corporations, and now a full-blown woke communist (like Linus Torvalds)

I'm no communist, but your argument is flawed.

Linus is not representative of the Linux community and I think the famous Stallman rant regarding GNU/Linux is actually relevant here.

The free software movement is certainly pretty left leaning, though I wouldn't call them communist.

OP's words.

OP is referring to Linus Torvalds' half-sarcastic quote.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
