It is Linux, but the machines are low apec and depend on cloud based google stuff for storage etc. Not quite the same as Desktop or powerful laptop

If it came preinstalled it would overtake Windows

I like snake, but in some interfaces the underscores blend into the text line or are not rendered properly, so it becomes eaaier to discern if the filename has spaces or separators by using kebab.

I have Windows EFI and Linux EFI partitions on same srive. Secureboot is set to load Linux EFI Grub, a chainloader entry in Grub will handoff to Windows boot loader if I choose that. it has stayed intact for 7 years this way without windows knowing or touching the other EFI partition. But separate drives is probably even better

WINE loads the executable binary data into the memory, and runs it. The Machine doesn't care if the code was made for Windows or Linux when it runs it

Up until several years ago our proprietary CAD CAM FEA software had GUI desktop linux support on SUSE or RHEL. They recently dropped GUI desktop version and only support nonGUI use going forward (for batch work), and dropped MacOS a few uears before that. I am hoping with thr uptick in Linux numbers they would reconsider at some point

Yes, i heard a quote "LLM could pass the turing test, but eventually they won't" due to starting to be too good at replies and humans will know its AI.

Probably, but so far so good after 7 years, only thing is I have to enrol the MOK? key in the Secure boot after major kernel updates. Which amount to typing a password at the MOK boot screen to enroll the key

Also has ssh available in nautilus, comes in handy sometimes

I got around that by having two EFI partitions, grub linux partition is loaded always at boot and it chainloads to the Windows EFI boot partition if I choose Windows. Windows does not know another partiton exists.

I have seen both. Typically you expect somebody self hosting to be about privacy and freedom, and thus choosing Linux, but there are WinFans too

Apparently crafted webpage could be a vector. Router has to block fragmented packages also. The issue is non savvy people get shipped a router with Ipv6 firewall turned off (as a shit default setting) and don't know to check it. And as it is a worm type it can come in with otger binaries
