XenGi

Depends, definitely not in the container market. But coreboot is widely used in appliances. Have a look at the boards from pcengines.

Oh no, who would’ve thought that they follow the rules of their country… What a surprise…

There are more OS’ on PC then Windows and Linux. So they should really just say PCs running UEFI. Any PC running a different firmware like core boot or libreboot is not affected. Apple devices are not vulnerable because they don’t use UEFI. Apple doesn’t do the U(nified) bit and built their own EFI.

yeah, pretty much.

It’s still available in their business accounts. :P

True. Hate it when people want the cert instead of actual security. But I know how the world ticks. Corporate usually doesn’t give you a choice.

Yeah companies that choose otherwise are rare. But they do exist.

What else would I mention? Some doesn’t have an office suite and figure is the only other competitor.

I wouldn’t say “built” if I bought an off the shelf one. Synology is pretty great though, don’t get me wrong.

It’s honestly pretty expensive compared to the alternatives. If you compare a business setup with windows plus office etc plus the support fee you can get all of that for free plus a much lower support fee from a variety of independent companies with Linux and libreoffice. The typical office worker really doesn’t need the few corner cases where MS office maybe has an advantage. Honestly for a business I would even go with Google tools. Same data privacy issues, but at least the product works great. MS office in the cloud is hot garbage.

Yeah but at least Google offers a good search engine while sniffing all your data. Microsoft products are usually hot garbage, sniff your data and then loose it. Also what is the Amazon index?

What the hell are you talking about? If you mean nixos’ dependence on aws, there are alternatives to that like cachix and in the worst case, you could still setup some distributed caching network like ipfs or something torrent based. AWS was simply the easiest choice at the time.

In taking about personal email. I also use outlook at work because I’m forced to, but I would never let these bastards touch my private Mails.

I don’t get why people still use Microsoft services. How many data privacy scandals do we need, so they understand? Or do they still not care?

Mozilla needs to stay alive no matter what. If they go away there is only Google browsers left.

I donate 10€ to Arch Linux and NixOS monthly because they let me run all my stuff and occasionally to projects I like. Especially the ones that save me money that would go into media consumption etc.
