It’s not just the scientists. Check out Erich von Manstein. NATO commanders routinely attended the birthdays of this Wehrmacht general, and behind the scenes he was the unofficial commander of the WestGerman military for years.
80% of computer usage is just a browser. you can swap in any OS, it does not matter for the end user.
I’ve done it at times. It works!
I love flatpak. It makes it easier for Linux to become mainstream.
When XFCE supports it.
