    Excellent, they should. Europe has many services that are already on par with American alternatives (certainly when it comes to Microsoft’s services), many are cheaper or even free, and actually respect our data.

    We also have SUSE and OpenSUSE from Germany that work as very serviceable alternatives to Windows. I hope this wake up call that has been the US’s betrayal of all past allies leads EU tech to capitalize on it.

        It is Linux! Honestly mentioning SUSE was a mistake since most people aren’t gonna use that. That would be for enterprises or government.

        OpenSUSE, particularly openSUSE Aeon is the one I would use if I wasn’t too knowledgeable about Linux. It just works out of the box, and it’s an atomic distro so a lot of the guides out there for other atomic distros apply to Aeon.
