Leaving the long-running Windows install is the concrete version of every sovereignty metaphor on this site. Linux is legible. Open source is not weaker. Omarchy is an escape hatch, and the doctrine's rallying cry is not mine.

Technology earns its keep when the person who pays the bill can still read, modify and rebuild the machine.

Most modern states run like a long-lived Windows install: processes accreting, idle cost rising, no root and no rollback.
