I simply don’t get this mentality. I’m sure you do realize, that companies such as Microsoft still operate in Russia. You think all people over there are running Linux? Aside from how unbelievably stupid your take is, guess they are traitors too. But you’ll still keep using their OS and Office suite for millenia to come.
MS stopped selling licenses last year and blocked the ones operating this year (non renewal). But I get your point, only not all the big companies stayed
What exactly did they block? You can still buy any Microsoft product in Russia, your online subscriptions are still billed in rubles, you can pay them from any card Visa or Mastercard accept. As of now there are no problems at all with Microsoft products in Russia.
Sorry, don’t get your point. A company may say one thing like Burger King said they will dump Russia. The reality at least currently with both Burger King and Microsoft is another thing.
Since I’m not living in Russia I can’t tell you what exactly is happening there but I can read what they told the world (with no one telling it’s false)
I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Russia did have larger linux adoption. It’s not unheard of for countries to be (in my opinion baselessly) suspicious that microsoft contains american spyware.

You’re assuming Russians pay for MS licenses
(Note: I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, just that piracy is rampant in Russia)

Uncritical support for FitGirl. Unless they’re a transphobe like Empress, I guess.

They surely do, but none of the Russians or Ukrainians I know have ever heard of Linux.
looking into it there is a russian version of linux that is widely used by the Russian government and it’s trying to push wider civilian adoption
That’s honestly great! Now we need the same here in the EU.
Edit: sleepy brain wrote Europe instead of EU
Russia is in Europe
Most of it is in Asia but I agree, should have phrased that better. European Union is what I meant :)

That must be why they finally killed hwidgen
