A large state corporation in Brazil is currently trialing 800 Linux PCs. If successful, it will deploy and replace 22k Windows installs, comparable to the migration happening in Germany.

      The LiMux project in Germany had some shady stuff going on in the background. Microsoft almost certainly bribed the new conservative government to switch everything back to Windows. There was a great documentary about it from DW that interviewed some whistleblowers, but I can no longer find it. However, Quidsup on Youtube did a good video encapsulating the course of events.

      EDIT: I was able to find the documentary by searching the old title in German, which brought up the original German version, and from there found the English translation!

        Thank you. DW is such an amazing resource. I really like their podcasts and videos.

        Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

        found the English translation!

        Those documentaries are great findings (and really really interesting). I would highly suggest posting them to the channel (or I would be happy to if you don’t mind)

        Hey- sorry to revive a very old conversation, but this evening I was updating my pihole server and noticed there weren’t any changes/additions to Quidsup’s notrack block list- so I started looking around and realized I hadn’t seen a video from him in years either.

        Do you know what became of him? I used to really enjoy his stuff and it’s like he just left the internet.

          Huh, you’re right, he has been absent. He still seems to be updating notrack over on his gitlab, so I have to assume he just got bored with videos, or some other aspect of his life took priority. I don’t have a twitter account, so I can’t see if he’s posted there, but hopefully he’s in good spirits and health.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
