Austria doesn't have a coordinated federal housing policy either, it's mostly just Vienna that aggressively builds city- or NPO-owned housing (and even there it's "only" about 40-45%¹). And one important aspect of V

For backend, flask is still around, or Django if you want to go bigger. PHP is usable these days, especially with Laravel. Golang also has lots of options. For frontend, vanilla JS and modern CSS go a long way. Reactivity is something you c

ChromeOS also heavily relies on TPM for disk encryption, and unlike Windows doesn't even give you the option of adding a passphrase or pin on top of it. And there's probably some large enterprises that use regular Linux desktops w

Usually the reply is "we sold you 'up to' 100 mbits, on ethernet, sucks to be you" anyway. And the telcos are emptying their stockpile of old crap before they order slightly less outdated models from the lowest bidder.
