Shocking "white power" Apartheid Linux


Recommended Posts

We have seen various Linux distros that cater to religious inclinations (Christianity, Islam, Satanism, Scientism), but this is the first I have heard of a distro for white supremacists.

Apartheid Linux 14 codenamed ?Houston Stewart Chamberlain? [after an obscure nineteenth-century "racialist writer"] is now available for download.

AL14 differs from most distributions of GNU/linux out there. Like Arch and Gentoo it does not have fixed releases, but can be continually upgraded. And unlike Arch or Gentoo, AL14 can be run by users with little or no prior experience with GNU/Linux.

It can be booted from a CD and tested without touching your hard drive.

AL14 is optimized to run on as much hardware as possible. It features the LXDE desktop environment and the Faenza icon theme.

Rightfully banned on LinuxTracker this shocking distro contains images such as this:

Took out links so we don't promote this....

White Supremacists.... is there no end to the bigotry of some people? :no:

I removed the links to this distro for the same reason that the distro is not promoted by LinuxTracker. These guys have the right to build a distro like this, but we don't have to give them a platform here....

I also think that logo is funny because I always called those paper picnic plates with the 3 sections on them "apartheid plates" since they keep your food from spilling over into the other sections. Their logo makes me think of those plates. Picnic Linux.

Okay, don't these idiots know that Linux, as well as a lot of the applications in this distro, are also being programmed by people who are not white!

and with this thread we give them a platform. Everything is available: Screenshot, logo and link for download.

I wasn't trying to give them a platform. I was trying to expose them. I can't believe anyone here would seriously want to use this... at least I hope not!

(Maybe I shouldn't have included all the links. But I used to be a news reporter for Neowin and we were always made to cite our sources properly.)

Some people have already pointed out the irony of the whole thing. The "white power" racist exclusion is contrary to the freedom of GNU software. I don't think the people who made that distro see the irony....

I would not blame you. But I think not for every things we should be so precise with sources with links.

    • Limited Prime Day deal sees Amazon Echo Show 11 is at its lowest price yet by Ivan Jenic The Amazon Echo Show 11 is currently $149.99 on Amazon during Prime Day, down from $219.99. That's 32% off and $70 saved on Amazon's newest mid-size smart display (purchase link below). As its name suggests, the Echo Show 11 features a 11” Full-HD touchscreen, which is a decent upgrade over the Echo Show 8. It offers 60% more viewing area, which makes a genuine difference for recipes, calendars, video calls, or any other scenario where the smaller display can feel a bit cramped. The Show 11 is built around Alexa+, Amazon's more capable AI assistant that can handle natural conversation. You can make reservations, order groceries, and find content based on your preferences, instead of always having to give it precise commands. There’s also the Omnisense technology, which adds ambient awareness, allowing the device to trigger routines based on temperature, presence detection, or visual cues. Smart home control is built in without needing a separate hub, and the home screen doubles as a photo slideshow when not in use. Taking all of this into account, the Show 11 is a perfect smart addition to your kitchen counter or living room. At $149.99, this is a strong Prime Day buy for anyone already in the Amazon ecosystem or looking to build one out.
