    How would anyone place a 100% community driven distribution like Debian in such a cage? There’s no monetary leverage, the community is truly international, so local laws don’t apply …
    Please note that it’s also one of the most prolific distributions, and the foundation p.e. for *buntu.

    If you’re living in an oppressive jurisdiction, your employer might obviously not allow you to use a truly free operating system, but that’s hardly Linux’s fault.

    So if your favorite distribution is starting bullshit, just switch to the next one, there are literally thousands of them. That’s why “Year of the Linux desktop” is confusing: it’s “year of steamOs” or “year of *buntu”, probably even “year of Debian”, but most certainly never “year of the nixos desktop”.

    You have choice. Use it.

    Yes, of course your router (that’s routing your network traffic) sees the traffic it’s routing - although these days almost everything is using https , so the router wouldn’t be able to inspect the content.

    However, the original question was about windows, and I don’t know of any router that uses windows, so I’m not sure if that addresses your actual question.
