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 from under American techs thumb due to the geopolitical landscape.

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