    Pretty much no military in the world cares about Linux because you want an OS system that millions of people are familiar with, require no additional onboarding process, and has decades worth of documentation and trouble fixers.

    Microsoft have always produced stripped down locked down versions of Windows for them so there’s really no reason for them to care about any of Microsoft’s BS in the communal space.

      An air-gapped FreeBSD os is significantly more stable and more secure than a commercially available os used globally. Security is more important to militaries than the fucking end user experience.

        A gapped anything is going to be more secure than anything connected to the network. But if any I don’t see what the operating system has to do with it.

        Anyway that’s not really what I’m talking about, the laptops that are given out to soldiers in the field are windows laptops not Linux.

          How do you know this? Apologies, but I’m not going to believe a rando internet person’s comment and take it as fact at face value.

            How do I know that the soldiers get Windows laptops?

            Because they do? They get Windows laptops. They don’t get Linux laptops.

              Piss poor dodge of answering the simple question.

              If anyone is reading this thread, unless [email protected] provides some sort of evidence, don’t believe what they say, ever.

        Wouldn’t openbsd absolutely take the cake then? Freaking OS is more secure than a vault
