Will they lobby for laws that prohibit Linux or make it difficult to install? What actions might they take in the future?

    Linux has been becoming a “serious threat” for 20+ years now. I’ll wait.

    Don’t get me wrong I like Linux a lot. But if you step back and look objectively, it has a lot of issues trying to grow outside the hobby/enthusiast community for the desktop.

      I think that linux has a couple of things that might help it grow outside its traditional niche that it hasn’t in the past. Proton has been a major step forward in to the gaming scene. A lot of people are very unhappy about windows 11. The EU in particular is also investing in ways to get out of American techs thumb due to the geopolitical landscape.

      I don’t have too high expectations personally but who knows.
