cipote :bishrexual:I would think so too but the main thing (in central america) is that a lot of people lack access to internet or banking services. I agree about linux being FOSS and having better hardware compatibility but we’re talking about countries where I had to smuggle devices to my relatives because of restrictions. These people are very tech illiterate or had limited exposure to technology in their lifetimes. I sent a thinkpad x220 once and I think it got replaced in favor of a newer notebook :marseyshrug: I even had it running windows 7 pro in spanish.
afaik it would make sense for windows to be dominant, because that’s what is being pushed but I also know from some reliable sources that a lot of gov infrastructure is running on U.S owned hardware which does not sit right with me at all. But then again I know people in Belize that can’t even get passports or visas. The situation is really fucking bad but not surprising when you realize these countries have been bending over for america for years at this point. Ideally they would have their own independent systems running on FOSS software but that may be many years by this point. People are too focused on hunger and their dwindling civil rights.
