I cant answer for the States but almost to a man the Left in this country
are 100% ex public sector workers, or in areas of activity that are
largely parasitic. E.g. lawyers.

Sounds like a stereotype.

I'm in the States.  I'm a veteran, then I worked at the local
community college, then used that knowledge (along with a biz partner)
to start an ISP.  I've now lost track of how many employees we have,
but it's over 1K.

My politics are middle-of-the-road by any other measure, but
many red-state denizens would consider me -- not "left", not even
"left-wing", but "leftist" and "a dad-blurned lib'rul!"

Meanwhile, we use Linux _a lot_ in our business.  I daresay Linux is
a more useful server and workstation OS than anything else.

When Microsoft added Linux to their OS, I figured Linus had
achieved his goal of Linux on the desktop.  Others may disagree,
but wide-scale adoption of Linux by Microsoft can't be denied: heck,
they even have their own distribution now.

BTW, this workstation is a turnkey offering by System76, for
which I have had only one problem -- and when brought to their
attention, I received great (and timely) support over email.
Kudos to them, and that's why I have them in my .sig.
