Are there any operating systems with devs that don't have a history of openly abusing others? (programming.dev)

I would prefer to find an operating system I can support that is developed by people who are generally kind, however I find the behavior of many of the top Linux/*BSD devs to be... abhorrent.

Are there any real alternatives that are led by nicer people?

Kernel Development is a cruel and unusual practice.

I'd be surprised if Linus Torvald wasn't a massive meany.

He used to be. He realized eventually and has massively improved.
