    Just install linux bro, it’s not that difficult. You’ll have to compile the F-35 drivers from source, but that’s just the cost of having a reliable system.

      It seems like they’d already be running Linux. I thought the joke of the post is that no aircraft engineers would ever trust those systems with a Microsoft trash OS

        They are probably running a custom embedded operating system for small size and real time scheduling. While linux is capable of that now its support and implementation is still iffy.

        Well NASA apparently does… for some weird reason.

          Yeah. 😭

          Although I’m doubtful that their flight /navigation computers rely on windows. The issue they had was getting email so it may just be laptops for email and browsing that run that shit
