Comment on Russia says it might build its own Linux community after removal of several kernel maintainers.

They’re just jumping the newscycle for the propaganda machine. Russian government doesn’t care about tech or linux unless it can help them deliver more bombs to Ukrainian babies and you don’t need to fork the kernel for that.

Pretty much no military in the world cares about Linux because you want an OS system that millions of people are familiar with, require no additional onboarding process, and has decades worth of documentation and trouble fixers.
Microsoft have always produced stripped down locked down versions of Windows for them so there’s really no reason for them to care about any of Microsoft’s BS in the communal space.

An air-gapped FreeBSD os is significantly more stable and more secure than a commercially available os used globally. Security is more important to militaries than the fucking end user experience.

And got anything is going to be more secure than anything connected to the network I don’t see what the operating system has to do with it.
Anyway that’s not really what I’m talking about, the laptops that are given out to soldiers in the field are windows laptops not Linux.

How do you know this? Apologies, but I’m not going to believe a rando internet person’s comment and take it as fact at face value.

Wouldn’t openbsd absolutely take the cake then? Freaking OS is more secure than a vault
