No, I want them to actually adopt it in parctice rather than creating hype. The reason they fail to do it in large scale is because of lack of people with knowledge of Linux working for the government (including defense). To change that the education sector of the country need to adopt Linux first. Currently only a elite group choosing IT during college gets exposure to Linux. Rest of the mass has no clue what Linux is or how to use it. Only handful of engineers not going to change it, they need real adoption by common people for everyday use.
Do you really think they are creating hype? If you think it’s hype then don’t engage with the content. But everyone in FOSS industry is engaging, so they just announced something, I see no evidence of a inorganic hype generation. Also if they follow through or not is secondary to me, I’m just happy somebody out there thinks this is a good idea.
What are you expecting? Should they put out a big billboard saying “We’ve switched to Linux!”?
