    So stop surrendering our society to America. Have the courage to use >different software and services. Even if it takes some getting used to.

    In past month, I bought a higher end NUC from ASUS...it could have
    been shipped with Linux or MS.

    I believe many could drop MS, but there is the learning curve.

    Hah, they are late to the game. I wrote an article on the subject a month
    ago and it got published in a liberal magazine, and got 10k views on
    linkedin. Maybe not a lot for you, but for me it was a new record! ;)

    Not today. It is basically null. My father who is soon 75 has used linux
    for 15 years. It's all graphic, he logs in, clicks on firefox, and off he
    goes.

    He has to my great pride and joy, even learned how to torrent old country songs! He is also a master a gimp!

    Not bad for an old student of sociology! ;)
