It's not entirely true because the USA military has been using Red Hat for a while.

Are there FOSS military hardware that our newly found Linux army can use? I'm sure there's open source handguns and rifles, but I'm talking like jets, anti-air guns, artillery, tanks, and helicopters.

Kinda need these things for a peer-to-peer conflict.

There's some folks on twitter who have been documenting making working open-source Panzerfausts (AT), Fliegerfausts(AA), and Flash incendiary (AP) launchers. Kind of amusing because they're actually legal in some US states as long as they're registered.

Zagros rifles are pretty well documented as long-range rifles built from unused ZSU-23 (anti-air) barrels.

They haven't already? Linux is at %14 in India right now. I would expect that sooner. https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/india

  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.
