The Chinese think in terms of 1000-year dynasties, not 6 month short term profits.
USA has no chance of remaining competitive if they keep up their current strategy. Chinese chips are well on their way to surpassing American ones over the next 10-20 years
I've been using Fedora for a long time because it's actually up to date and tends to have the best of what the open source community has to offer, while still having some opinionated defaults to make things run smoothly.
Never had a problem with WIFI drivers. NVIDIA on Wayland however... (not Fedora's fault the proprietary drivers are garbage, its done what it can by at least making them easy to install)
I was finally at a job where I could use Linux at work. Things were great for about a year and then BOOM we get acquired and the new company forces MacBooks on everyone.
I. Friggin. Hate. MacOS. The biggest pain point is the keyboard shortcuts, 15 years of Linux muscle memory...

+1000. one of my coworkers keeps thinking he's saving time with AI-generated code but what he's really doing is pushing the thinking downstream when we have to pick apart the absolute garbage that gets generated.

Yep, I've seen MS flight simulator fans basically create entire cockpits in their house with a crap tonne of screens for 180-degree vision and hook up all the 3rd party peripherals.
There's just no way this will ever work seamlessly on Linux
In my country, Microsoft has inserted itself into the education system. If you want to learn system / network admin so you can run IT at pretty much any local business, it's all Microsoft.
To be fair, Active Directory does make it easier to manage a bunch of windows boxes with consistent users and permissions. When your users are business people mashing Excel spreadsheets all day, and build their lives and identities around Excel, you pretty much have to give them the environment that Excel runs in, which is Microsoft.
