Honestly I feel like government investment is the way to go for operating systems. They are something that everyone needs (assuming they live digitally) just like schools or the fire department. And governments are sort of the operating system of society anyway

    At the same time you also have many people who will claim that software with government contribution is automatically compromised.

    This is great news and I'm so happy it isn't going to the toxic GNOME
