    100%… yet we are pretending to do that while giving Microslop all the contracts

      It is a chicken or the egg thing, people use windows at home so employers and educators use windows at their work places. For the most part at least.

      We need to teach boards of education that they could save money if instead of using windows or chromium they used Linux we could force businesses to adapt to the new people coming into the work force. If we could convince governments to make the switch, we would be that much closer to socialism!

        I agree with your point but it has nothing to do with the topic here. Nobody storing data in Microslops Azure would see or notice what cloud it is (as a matter of fact most of Azure is Linux)

        The choice of giving Microslop our data to hold and pretend we are building a sovereign cloud is absolutely absurd.

          I was just pointing out that we need to strip Microslop out of the lives of the average person so that they do not get tricked into paying for Microslop services and letting their data be stored on US based companies servers. I am not surprised that Microslop uses Linux in their server racks, most of the internet is run off of Linux.

          Our sovereign cloud needs to be based in Canada on Canadian hardware. I would go as far as saying that the hardware needs to be open source as well, I would be fine-ish with ARM but would really prefer RISC-V CPU’s and GPU’s. I am not familiar with any open hardware RAM or Disks but we need stuff.
