Best linux distro for a socialist? (hexbear.net)

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!

Are there any distros maintained by organizations outside the US orbit? Any US organization (Fedora, Debian, etc.) is required to comply with US sanctions and law. They're supposedly "free as in freedom" but they can't really be if they're under US jurisdiction.

So maybe Deepin? Actually it's on GitHub so idk.
