From one walled garden to another.

A US product run by a couple of billionaires now looks a bit more like another US product run by a billionaire. Yeah well…

Honestly, the EU seems to be not the best place to write operating systems.

The most actively developed version of Plan 9, 9front, is from Germany, but that’s not what most people want to use, I guess. Best I can do is non-American (OpenBSD). I’m open for ideas myself though!

What about OpenSUSE, Ubuntu etc? Both European based firms.

Canonical (based in London) is not really “from the EU” anymore. ;-) No, I know what you mean…

However: Yes, those are European Linux distributors. They distribute an U.S. operating system kernel together with an U.S. userland (GNU), an U.S. init system (systemd), several U.S. desktops (most commonly, Gnome, although KDE is German, at least)…

If you get your Windows installation from an European distributor, is it a European product?

considering their (…) contributor network.

Microsoft has employees in Europe. Does that count? If it doesn’t, why does it count for Linux?

Still, it’s probably off-topic in the “buy from EU” community. No EU products are involved here.

I honestly don’t know (I usually hand-wire my frontends). Sorry.

It is incredibly funny to read that website’s source code:

* @license React
 * react.production.js
 *
 * Copyright (c) Meta Platforms, Inc. and affiliates.

Worst boycott ever.

FYI, the Linux trademark, the Linux Foundation and Linus Torvalds are U.S.-based.

Which makes Darwin a system with BSD elements, just like some versions of Windows and all versions of Linux. Windows and Linux aren’t BSDs, I think you agree; neither is Darwin, for the same reason.

The kernel is not BSD. That’s like running GNU software on a BSD kernel: It’s still not a Linux.

Good idea. Try and report back. If it does not work, sorry!

Darwin is not a BSD.

Have you tried feeding them your youngest children?

No one does collaboration as easy as Microsoft

Try Apple.

Linux is super reliable

It depends on what you want to do with it, which version of which component you run and a couple of other things. In my own experience, if you want a “super reliable” system, get OpenBSD. Linux has a severe lack of QA, mainly because of its decoupled nature.

Here’s a list of End-of-Life dates for CentOS Stream which is a rolling release.

Well…

APL!

Mine‘s Lisp.
