Redox, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, QubesOS and Hurd for example. OK, for Hurd it's
not yet ready. It will be. Soon. I hear it since thirty years it's
almost ready. So, one day it'll become true. Maybe. But if Redox is not
yet fully ready, it's far younger. QubesOS, FreeBSD and OpenBSD are well
proven ready.

So, what? If the only choice is the leader, then the leader is Windows
and the only choice. Your argument is plain wrong because you are using
exactly what Windows users are using against Linux. You can't say the
argument is good towards Linux and wrong toward Windows. You have to
chose. And the only possibility is to refuse it.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
