It was founded by the Manhattan district attorney and the city of London police force (https://globalcyberalliance.org/history/) and IBM. I know that they say they are now reincorporated as a nonprofit in Switzerland but I find it suspicious that they don’t mention their history on their webpage, the Wikipedia entry doesn’t have a history section and the Global Cyber Alliance doesn’t have a Wikipedia entry either.

I might be paranoid but all this seems weird to me and I don’t trust them.

Linux is favored because the ecosystem is more open but you can also run it on low power devices which isn’t really the case with Windows (and getting worse over time) and it’s free with Windows, to be legal, you need to license the cores/VM. Now does anyone actually do that?! I wouldn’t think so.
