Gotta love when people can't even fathom a life beyond bending the knee to the American capitalist machine lol

Believe it or not, most non-Americans actually have options.

    You kinda don't.

    Windows is American, via Microsoft. MacOS is American, via Apple. Android and ChromeOS are American, via Google. BSD is American, via UC Berkley. Linux is at least partially American, via the Linux Foundation.

    Western Europe has essentially nothing to show for itself in terms of processor architecture, instruction sets and operating systems. Globally, that's pretty much all been done by the Americans and the British. They get to claim ARM.

    Congratulations on going open source though, we'll see if you stick with it longer than the krauts did.
