I was probably too hasty in my assumptions ... simplistic, stereotypical maybe even a bit racist

I just thought it made economic sense ... why build an entire economy or business using foreign owned software and basing it all on a foreign company, especially one with unknown loopholes that would put the company's and country at risk by a foreign power.

Thanks for the correction and insight ... I'll be more careful about my assumptions in the future.

    Thanks for acknowledging it.

    Also another thing you are wrong about: You may be surprised to know that the second hand market for computer electronics is non-existent. As far as I know, there are only a handful of cities in the whole country where there is a second hand local market. Cheap electronics don't last that much and in laptops there are only so many components you can buy separately and install. (Overwhelming majority of the computers are laptops, not the traditional CPU towers)

    Also another thing I failed to mention is, the government tried to make a distro for govt use at one point but idk if anything came out of that. But I want to say there's definitely a growing presence of linux here
