You are arguing that voting still matters to them.

They will steal the next election, the question is if democrats are going to make it difficult for them, or if they are going to mostly ignore it like Jan6

What I meant is they went through the rough years of 2000s Linux when hardware support was really problematic and the office suite options were far really behind.

Server side was pretty good by then though.

The fact that they made 2004 Linux work untill 2017 was impressive.

Linux and OSS in 2026 is night and day compared to back then.
