I love them. They make the immutable distributions possible.
We need to stop with the idea of shared libraries, it's nice on the paper but in practice you only save a bit of disk space and it's a pain for developers to package for different distributions.
Distribution packages are great for core components of the system, or utilities everyone needs, but for end users applications something like flatpak makes more sense. This way it can be packaged by the upstream developer for all distributions, and sandboxing adds a layer of security. You wouldn't install an app that have all permissions on mobile, why do it on desktop?
I think one issue is for high officials that outrank everyone, they can get away with getting an insecure device because they prefer an iPhone over the custom hardened phone on Android 10 locked down for secure reasons.
It's not weird, you can ask the recruiter or even the developer doing the interview what is the work environment (i.e. at the end, "do you have any question for me"). It's a perfectly valid question.
You don't have to go into details and go into a flamewar about Windows, at most just mention that it's not your preference.
I think it's better to avoid talking about how you "absolutely cannot tolerate", "hate" a given platform because that in itself could be a red flag to some interviewers. If you feel this way about Windows, maybe you'll feel this way about frameworks/libraries that has already been picked and be a pain to work with.
It failed because they didn't give it enough time to succeed. Google had enough money to invest in Stadia at a loss for many years until it eventually succeeds, but instead they just confirmed their image of randomly cancelling products.
OK, give my the name of a European company you consider "Big Tech?"
