Yes, but nobody makes end user business software for linux machines, only Windows. Linux only gets stuff for servers and sometimes developing but even people who work on Linux systems all code on a Macbook. Linux Torvald himself uses a Macbook to develop linux ironically enough
I mean the "software" in the image is running in edge. So, short of compatibility, I can't imagine it couldn't run on something like Fire Fox. Which begs the question: Why are we using windows 11 at all?
because no one in the factory has ever used a linux machine and the none of the engineers want to be the go to hand holding guy when your prototype inevitably shits itself so they just use windows and hope that its one less thing to have to worry about.
its about convenience, perceived or otherwise. nobody gets paid enough to care about the politics or the tech

He uses Asahi Linux, a project designed to painstakingly reverse engineer Apple ARM-based Silicon to run a free operating system (whose labor is virtually all volunteer work). It is a GNU/Linux operating system that has both a Arch and Fedora distribution and the goal is to upstream everything to the Linux kernel so everyone can use Linux on Apple ARM.
Not going to disagree with your sentiment. Mainstream consumer desktops is a dominated market by the USA because it's easier to extract profit from individuals with little to no power by themselves than it is with large enterprises who can actually negotiate using free operating systems or a stripped down version of Windows exactly to their liking. Freedom and human rights is taboo in Western societies so obviously you're not going to get mainstream conversation around FOSS and instead petty bourgeois complaining about "enshittification."
And I now have a more powerful arm64 machine (thanks to Ampere), so the last week I've been doing almost as many arm64 builds as I have x86-64, and that should obviously continue during the upcoming merge window too. The M2 laptop I have has been more of a "test builds weekly" rather than "continuously".
Wouldn't it be better if they did use some custom linux build?

Is this bait 🤔
Possibly, I could be wrong but also note I'm not using "nobody" and "all" like literally literally

Edge also exists for Linux.

And even then, in his 2022 email where he unveiled his usage of it, he wrote:
clearly meaning he still uses (I assume) his 2020 AMD build, unless it has changed in the last 2 years.
Edit: It has changed in the last 2 years!
This is like the computer version of a lib "explaining" Communism
What happens when you don't read theory
Lmao. It is.
Linux doesn't account for human nature.
Is this a joke? Or are you for real.
I use KDE desktop applications to code but I'm obstinate and not that gud.
