Linux is a US based organisation even if its globally open sourced. The main builds to my knowledge are redhat and Ubuntu. The first is American, the second is British. So unless they are moving to Ubuntu builds the "reduction of reliance on American tech giants" is nonsense.

Don't get me wrong, I'm destesting ms as an entity and an os lately. My pc decided it couldn't find the programs for modifying display settings suddenly the other day, and as it defaults to kin brightness when I start it up lately it took a while to fix it. So yeah fed up with windows lately, and don't disagree with the decision they made.

All that said... Yeah.... fuck France.
