    indeed, the anti-limux stuff was a sort of microsoft marketing campain in disguise.

    microsoft lobbied munich to abandon linux after they adopted it while abandoning windows, and also put in great effort to paint the narrative that it was due to linux being bad. they successfully pointed to things that didn’t work with linux, masking that the reason these things didn’t work were not due to linux but due to not updating or other administrative problems not related to the operating system.

      I’m gonna say if the OS of a public administration can run while not being updated that’s the OS’s fault and not fit for purpose.

      Nothing keeping you from changing that if you manage the distro. But still.

      Now that I’m done with my popcorn, I thought the video was fairly even handed.
