It seems like they'd already be running Linux. I thought the joke of the post is that no aircraft engineers would ever trust those systems with a Microsoft trash OS
Well NASA apparently does... for some weird reason.
Yeah. 😭
Although I'm doubtful that their flight /navigation computers rely on windows. The issue they had was getting email so it may just be laptops for email and browsing that run that shit
They are probably running a custom embedded operating system for small size and real time scheduling. While linux is capable of that now its support and implementation is still iffy.
