In the video, he talks about examples of European governments specifically switching to Linux, like a police station using an Ubuntu based distro, and foss software like LibreOffice. I don’t think android, Mac or BSD are mentioned.
What’s wrong with going back to pen and (e-)paper for office? My point is, if you are going to post something in the community, the word “linux” shall at least be in the title.
Good title example: Europe is slowly ditching Microsoft for Linux
It’s nobody’s fucking business when someone ditching Microsoft, then adopt BSD, Solaris whatnot. What matters to this community is someone adopting or ditching Linux, or they do something remotely related to it.
Point is (again), it takes zero effort to cross post a video or article here. Windows is historically having a high market share ratio, and people are migrating to Linux nowadays. That’s good news to the Linux world. Even someone merely mentioning ditching Windows has an implication of adopting Linux instead.
But what if more and more posts implying this by only mentioning how bad Windows is? Is this a community for Windows circlejerk, or do we share informative stuff that’s directly related to Linux? How about we share more article about how great Linux is (or can be), instead of how bad the competitors are becoming?
I am all for ditching Microsoft, but why should this post be in this community? There are also Android, Mac OS, and all kinds of BSD.

Fair enough. I didn’t watch the video.
None of what you listed is a viable alternative for a myriad of reasons. Only GNU+Linux can replace Windows.

Didn’t you see the “little” thumbnail that says “This could be huge for Linux”?
I don’t. This is how it looks like on my Voyager.

Agree on the Linux. You do not need the GNU though.
Chimera Linux is based in Spain. Maybe use that.
