A large state corporation in Brazil is currently trialing 800 Linux PCs. If successful, it will deploy and replace 22k Windows installs, comparable to the migration happening in Germany.

      I hope you can install Firefox, because The Googs is pushing for Manifest v3, which means no more functional adblock.

      Linux or bust, babyyyyyy

        Honestly I’m not sure why Google is allowed to to even have Chrome OS from an antitrust perspective.

        The great thing about Chrome OS is that it is really easy to setup and use. The tradeoff is that you have no control.

      Swapping Microsoft for Google is not much of an improvement imho

        What’s more, swapping MS for Google is probably worse from a privacy point of view :(

        It is much easier in terms of maintenance. That’s its only really upside.

      Go big or go home. No need to stick with anything from a large corporation if you’re already pulling away from M$

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
