    Recent Windows is remarkably hostile, see my comment there. As a Linux user for decades, I was horrified. Awesome move from China.

    Also, it's also been happening in Europe for all public stuff slowly but surely; here in France, for example, all computers for the National Assembly run Linux (Ubuntu specifically); also, all cops' precincts are now using Linux as well (a publicly funded custom distribution, GendBuntu).

      Being forced to fix people's Windows computers at work has given me a similar ride. Installing a fresh copy of Windows 10 is a creepy experience.
