They are different distros, and fork of distros, of a same original project. Yet it is sad to see how the trolls of the different branches are aggressive toward others.
Don’t you think switching to Linux could help them in finding better ways to promote their favorite distro?
Yet, I admit linuxians too tend to have a favorite distro they fight for even if they haven’t tried most others, and therefore without knowing if theirs is really better…


If you can’t fork it, you would better work on an other existing project that you can fork ; or start an other one from scratch…
And (optionally) call back the mormons every 15 minutes so they join yours…


This show the importance of licences ; if you request not only Linux but free licences, it makes it easier !
Accept to become mormon but if their scripture are provided under GNU GPL V3+, then you can hack them the way you want…


open a terminal and enter the command:
yes I am using Linux
Hello,
You could give a look at simplex (https://simplex.chat/) ; it seems to be a possible alternative to signal, mostly focus on protecting user’s privacy. Yet in my experience it doesn’t allow (yet?) a call between multiple devices simultaneously.
An other alternative would be to use xmpp protocol using a jabber like server and apps. The advantage being that there is a lot of servers and even more apps, and that not every family members need to use the same… but if you are the one going to help them install, setup and upkeep, you may see mulyiplicity as a down side.
Some unspecified promises of confort later, or freedom now and forever? Of course I do not go anywhere but remain at that holly Gnu Emacs !
