      Made a bunch of noise about switching from American software to American software.

        Open Source obviously belongs to everyone or no-one. But if you want to be pedantic about it, then Linux is from Finland.

        Gotta love when people can’t even fathom a life beyond bending the knee to the American capitalist machine lol

        Believe it or not, most non-Americans actually have options.

          You kinda don’t.

          Windows is American, via Microsoft. MacOS is American, via Apple. Android and ChromeOS are American, via Google. BSD is American, via UC Berkley. Linux is at least partially American, via the Linux Foundation.

          Western Europe has essentially nothing to show for itself in terms of processor architecture, instruction sets and operating systems. Globally, that’s pretty much all been done by the Americans and the British. They get to claim ARM.

          Congratulations on going open source though, we’ll see if you stick with it longer than the krauts did.

Shit, just linux.

Use this community for anything related to linux for now, if it gets too huge maybe there will be some sort of meme/gaming/shitpost spinoff. Currently though… go nuts
