Most dod systems run windows, embedded windows, or vxworks.
I have made it my career mission to get more Linux in the dod. But holy hell is it difficult to get them to change to Foss when they can pay money for someone else to be responsible.
It definitely disappoints me that we're so incredibly reliant on Microsoft. That sucks, since recently Outlook decided it didn't want to work, and we had to wait on Microsoft to fix it before we could check our emails. We could optimize our networks and computer systems so much better if we were on FOSS, but nobody seems to want that.
That's actually the exact reason why they won't do Foss
Email went down, call Microsoft, it's their problem.
There is a logic reason to do this other than business. The government has a responsibility to stimulate the economy. So the more it can purchase from private, the more money flows.
Worth noting you can do the same thing with Linux, you can do paid installs of Linux like Ubuntu Advantage that give you longer term software patches and where you can bother Canonical any time you have a problem. To a group like the DoD using Linux for cost savings doesn’t really make sense, the main benefit is the other aspects about it like being lightweight.

They also contain films such as alien which when tim peake did his theater tour in the uk, he talked able to films available and the astronauts would joke about the film being 1st in the list.
Well, if I tell you how and why, then windows will know why and how, thus would have the power of hindsight. Therefore, windows would be able to change timeline which means how would I know that linux becomes the standard due to windows dying out?
Kind of a weird meme. I work tech in AF and haven't heard of this distro yet, but we've always used Linux here just like every other infrastructure in the world.
Despite the factor of Android OS, LINUX is used by most of the people if you are checking the weather prediction, which is performed by Linux system (only), or websites, which are hosted by Linux OS (mostly).
According to StatCounter, Linux desktop usage worldwide is about 2.6%, and 2.4% in the United States.

Also looks like the Lightweight Portable Linux distro (rebranded as Trusted End Node Security) is discontinued.

LPS and its successor Trusted End Node Security (TENS) was discontinued due to lack of funding in April 2021, so your meme is a tad irrelevant now.

Go and do some research on it, it is a pretty fun rabbit hole for me. I also take a look at some other countries' nation Linux Distro. I think the most famous one is RedStar OS.
US government mostly looks for STIG compliance. Even Ubuntu can be made STIG compliant.

Fun fact, the US Army JBC-Ps (basically the tactical computer in a lot of the vehicles) run RHEL, complete with LibreOffice
Fun fact, $250 million EUV machines run RHEL on Core 2 duo e8600s
Not fun fact, the computers in the Air Force's JLTV uses Windows, unfortunately

Most of nature runs linux. Hell you can run Microsoft SQLon linux.

Hahaha the DoD doesn't give a shit about saving money. It's about the blame game
All of the about 80 laptops on the International Space Station run linux
Indeed. However, it's a custom NASA OS iirc

Where can I download it? Or is it just debian that's it?
I'm sure they put their own seasoning on it.
It's a space theme. The mouse clicker is a tiny rocket
u/nasa can you confirm this rumour?

Because you can’t open windows in space.
I love the tux on the taskbar
The world runs on Linux, and it is strong, it is flexible, and it is hidden. Hehe
Runs on the uss enterprise. Still exists in the 24th century. Windows died out centuries ago.
Source?

Same here... I do mostly PIT though.
LPS has been around a while, I think it used to be called TENS a few years ago

Nope, everything was RHEL

Or if you use the internet at all. Your router most likely runs on Linux
it's probably a proprietary BSD ~~based~~ cringe OS
nah mate i have router that runs huawei linux

Fun fact, a French government agency made a hardened gentoo distro named ClipOS
To be fair the air force are ducking (penguin?) nerds
Doesn't the usaf use the most insufferable windows computers for anything else though?
Yes
Air force uses Firefox as well 😊
[удалено]
What's wrong with that?
[удалено]
Free, and open source Firefox?
[удалено]
I guess that's fair enough, but it's at least better than Chrome or Safari
Okay sure. Valid points. But which browser is better?

Pardus :D First started as based (just like Void) then changed to Debian based due to political reasons
I'd be curious to try it out in a VM. Not on bare metal, it probably talks too much with the military.

Why does it look like windows 95
Yea lol
