>How could a single malware program simultaneously cripple companies, hospitals and even government intelligence services all around the globe? Microsoft Windows software programs proved to be their common Achilles heel. Companies and private individuals use software from Microsoft. Government and public administrations from Helsinki to Lisbon run it, too. That makes all of them vulnerable to attacks from hackers and spies. Window’s dominance also undermines European procurement legislation, impedes technological progress and costs Europe a bundle. Journalist Harald Schumann and his team of Investigate Europe researchers have spoken with insiders and administrators from all across the continent. The German government’s former IT director, tells us how countries are becoming increasingly dependent on Microsoft. A legal expert from the Netherlands describes how the European Commission and governments are breaking European laws regulating public tenders. Hamburg’s data protection commissioner, Johannes Caspar, warns that Microsoft Windows systems expose individuals' private data to the prying eyes of US intelligence services. Internal documents show that Germany's Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) suspects this, too. The EU and the German parliament have responded by repeatedly demanding that government IT systems be converted to open source software. Their source codes can be accessed freely and copied at will, which would enable European security services to use, alter and monitor them. Italy's army is going open source, as have police in France, Lithuania, and in the cities of Rome and Barcelona. Why do most governments resist the alternatives, or fall back into Microsoft's clutches, as Munich city authorities did. The EU's Commissioner for the Digital Single Market, Andrus Ansip, and other key players have the answers.

Are we all fucked?
Thomas Cruz
yes.
Jason Hill
They do so by promoting Debian on Jow Forums.
Benjamin Rodriguez
Big companies spend more time lobbying for regulations than not.
It's simple : the free market abhors a monopoly

Aside from shitstaind, what's wrong with Debian?
Jayden Martinez
Fuck I hate microjews so damn much!
Jaxson Allen
Is this why they've been working on their own distro of Linux? In case municipalities outside the US want to go open source? Does that mean MS is developing their own compatibility layer or is this the reason why WINE has made so much progress recently?

And if linux was the dominant OS, you'd be seeing exactly the same documentary about them. Keep seething you dumb fuck.

>>New user comes along wants to try linux I don't care. >>Try to install >>Doesn't have wifi driver on disk They provide a non-free ISO, you fucking retard. >>Doesn't have software as new to the Windows they're used to Yes it does. >>Installer is misleading and installs GNOME without asking No it doesn't. It literally asks you which desktop you want installed. If you select "Debian desktop environment" it installs Gnome. Untick the box for headless or select something else. >>Has nothing to offer that Ubuntu can't do better It's more stable with no Amazon spyware. Wasn't there just a thing about malware being found in their snap shit whatever repos? >>It didn't have optimus and had buggy KDE when I last used it KDE is trash. >Debian is an autism pride parade in the form of software. You're literally just too stupid to use it. Go back to Winshit.

There are multiple Linux distribution vendors to choose from. With Windows you only have Microsoft.
Andrew Anderson
JFC you couldn't have made a more stereotypical Debian user post if you tried.
>Have valid complaints >NYUUHHH HURR UR JUST DUM What a fucking cult. Debian and its shit userbase is what is preventing the year of the Linux desktop.
I don't care about normalniggers like you. I care about having good software. Take your bloatware trash and stick it up your ass. You're genuinely too stupid for Debian which is why you don't like it. Debian isn't hard to install and use. Old UNIX systems were difficult to use, not Debian. Stop being tech illiterate, you retarded fuck.
Nathan Thomas
You do realize I have no issue with Arch, Gentoo, nor OpenBSD right? Other than OpenBSD's hardware support, all of those are better than Debian.
>They provide a non-free ISO, you fucking retard How should a normie decipher where to find the non-free ISO or even that he needs exactly that one. It's unofficial and not even linked on their site. >Yes it does. Yes sure, labelled as unstable. So a person comes along, never had to download an OS in their life, what would they choose; stable, testing, unstable? Exactly.
So yeah, fuck Debian elitists and thanks for testing the packages for the buntus :^

Waaah I'm scared if it doesn't all work right now! Why are there so many options? My thing isn't working this is shit!
tfw was a winbabby for most of my life, went balls deep arch without knowing anything about Linux, and was probably ahead of most Jow Forums after a month or so All it takes is effort, which you cant really expect from the average user
Adam Fisher
It is. Old Jow Forums would've run you Windows wanna-be's out of here long ago.
