    I am all for ditching Microsoft, but why should this post be in this community? There are also Android, Mac OS, and all kinds of BSD.

      None of what you listed is a viable alternative for a myriad of reasons. Only GNU+Linux can replace Windows.

      • Android: a mobile OS first and foremost with very limited usability as a general purpose desktop operating system.
      • MacOS: hardware from one vendor only.
      • *BSD: more niche with even lesser support than GNU+Linux.

        What’s wrong with going back to pen and (e-)paper for office? My point is, if you are going to post something in the community, the word “linux” shall at least be in the title.

        Good title example: Europe is slowly ditching Microsoft for Linux

        It’s nobody’s fucking business when someone ditching Microsoft, then adopt BSD, Solaris whatnot. What matters to this community is someone adopting or ditching Linux, or they do something remotely related to it.

      In the video, he talks about examples of European governments specifically switching to Linux, like a police station using an Ubuntu based distro, and foss software like LibreOffice. I don’t think android, Mac or BSD are mentioned.
