The post does contain the link to the petition, anyway it's this one: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/petitions/it/petition/content/0729%252F2024/html/Petition-No-0729%252F2024-by-N.-W.-%2528Austrian%2529-on-the-implementation-of-an-EU-Linux-operating-system-in-public-administrations-across-all-EU-countries

I'm using linux, tho I wanted to reverse engineer the program to make the controller customizable under linux, but if I don't run windows I can't do that!

Ah shit we are back to "Ken Thompson Compiler Hack" again

Nope the article state

However, this new driver has also rolled out to Windows 10 and Windows 11 devices in the USA that do not have to comply with the DMA act, shedding doubt on this theory.

Yes the deer is the Libreboot logo

I'm currently contributing to osm and reverse enginnering the Sound Blaster Command for my Sound BlasterX G6 to make a Command Software for linux, currently in early stage but first I need to understand more about the protocol.

From the description to me sound probably like nixos

I use Arch btw

Chaotic bad!

For what I just read in the github discussion and in the linked gnome discussion is not endorsed by Gnome, as you can see here

The best way to switch imo is to first to switch some of your currently installed app on windows with others that have a linux version, so you will not be entirely lost when you switch os.

For example Microsoft Office is not available on linux so maybe try libreoffice or onlyoffice, another example Photoshop doesn't have a linux version too.

Then maybe try to familiarize with the os on a vm or on a live usb, especially on a live usb so you know what works out of the box and with your hardware.

If you want to game look for you games on protondb if they work or not, for online games instead watch areweanticheatyeat to see if the anticheat work.

Last tip is to go with a know distro not something obscure like steamos or kali linux, they are not meant to be used as daily drivers especially kali and can give you problems that will not occurre in other distro!

The only thing I want to say is "OpenStreetMap got the FSF award in 2018".

As the same openstreetmap site say it's the wikipedia of maps, run by the community and some corporations like meta, Microsoft and Apple.

And some people, like me, thanks to microg use the data for geocoding and don't rely on google for that.
