@FatherEnoch The hurdles to Linux adoption are social, economics, and ideological, not technology.
We have shitty tech overlords because that's what most people want.
We brought up a generation that can't even imagine what a free, open, decentralized world means.

Linux community: "We should move away from Microsoft and other proprietary ecosystems for the sake of privacy, sovereignty, and decentralization."

Also the Linux community: "You're an asshole for asking people to care about privacy, sovereignty, and decentralization."

So I thought I was tripping balls when someone pointed this out to me earlier, but for some reason you can still go on Walmart’s website in 2025 and find Lindows 4.0 listed for sale. Like… the old Linux distro from 2003 that got sued by Microsoft for the name.

I didn’t believe it at first, so I looked it up myself and sure enough, there it was: the full suite, add-ons like “SurfSafe” and “VirusSafe” and even the Office pack.

That shouldn’t even be possible though as they should’ve been rebranded because of legal reasons.

It’s surreal seeing something from the dot-com era just chilling alongside modern listings. Makes me wonder if it’s really in stock or just a relic frozen in their system for two decades
