Those are pretty hard to assign to a country I'd say. I mean is the Linux kernel Finnish? But yeah if the point is just to use non-US tech they could run Ubunt

But yeah if the point is just to use non-US tech they could run Ubuntu Linux (SA) or OpenBSD (Canada) or I suppose Red Flag Linux (China). Language wise...maybe Python or PHP or Erlang or an ML language?
- hueving 10y agoThe kernel has heavy development from the US. If their intention was to think they were running complete on things not developed at least partially in the US, then they were really off the mark. Huawei even blatantly steals software for their network hardware from US companies. If they just meant the last piece of physical hardware sold by an American headquartered company, then I guess that's something?
- drzaiusapelord 10y agoPopular FOSS projects are typically invented in the US, funded by US companies, and consists of US developers. I think its a little arrogant to pretend these things would exist without the US. Also, whats in those Lenovo boxes? Godson chips or American Intels? They are absolutely not running Windows on any desktop then I assume?
- PopsiclePete 10y agoThe whole thing is laughable. And even then, even if they replace all "American" pieces of software and hardware, the remaining will probably be 80% European anyway! Great Victory, Comrades!
