They should also start enforcing Linux on government computers. Microsoft would take a pretty big hit from that.

-hey, you should switch to Linux now, it's way better than Windows 11, everything works and the community is very helpful
-what? you're having some issues on Linux? uhh, skill issue, go back to windows lol

Not giving Google ad money would be a good reason, I think.

I really hate how so many redditors complain about "not enough people and content" on these smaller social media sites. People got so used to bots and infinite content, they just scoff at a website built for actual people and human interactions instead of bots.

For me it's pretty simple:
-older hardware/no need for up to date packages - Debian
-new hardware, needs up-to-date software - Arch
And that's it. Though obviously, you can also use flatpak if you truly need newer versions of software. Personally I have arch on my gaming PC + Debian on my multimedia-consumption laptop.

I think they realized they can just ride the wave of promises for years. It was the same with their android apps - they promised to share the source code of proton calendar for android "soon". It took them... A few years, I think. Recently, they did similar thing with their new Lumo AI. Big talks about open source, yet no source code shown. People don't pester them about these things that much, so it's basically free publicity.

I'm telling you, bro, we are totally working on that Linux client, bro, just give us a few more years, bro.

It's really weird how Mozilla is trying to market to the punk-anarchists and the AI techbros at the same time. It won't work.

It's just the matter of defaults, especially since Mint has Debian edition too. Personally I just cut off the "middleman" and go straight to Debian. Unless you really like Cinnamon, because you'll obviously have better experience on Mint with it.
