Well no shit, why do you guys think MS is having such a heavy push to "port" their products to Linux? If they cant have their own OS, they'll pollute the other ones, and the retards using LinuxLite(Ubuntu) wont know the difference. MS has what, 1 money maker left? Office perhaps?

There's something in LinuxLite that MS has their hands in?

VS Code comes to mind, and .Net core. Not that they are very highly used, but the desperation is definitely kicking in

Yesterday I was thinking about a national brand of computer hardware, specialized but not limited to laptops
100% linux compliant, state owned and independant in its decision process, decisions driven by the national linux community, components built and assembled in the country
Not to necessarily produce state oft he art machines, but good machines, like, just fine, in the 200/500 bucks range
Like an x205ta but without proprietary driver issues for instance

nice
Didn't know it existed
Still, components are mostly made in china, but granted, it's better than nothing at all for people that don't want to "hand everything to china"
...
That said, my initial train of thoughts wasn't strictly limited to the US, it's rather in a broader nationalistic oriented perspective
I like this one

You might look at https://puri.sm/. Tad pricey - but very security focused.

Microsoft has to survive somehow. The latest news is that recently Android surpassed Windows as the most used OS in the web. Linux is slowly but steadily defeating them. So, they are now extorting money from Linux based companies. I will be there to laugh at your dishonest ass when you bite the dust, Microsoft.
