Lenovo and Fedora ?

Big hardware companies (laptops/desktops) use Linux in almost all their services, Websites, cloud, routers, phones,,,etc

But when it comes to hardware for customers they stuck with MS windows, very few that ship Linux as OS for the hardware.

Lenovo recently partnered with Fedora to ship Laptops with [FedoraOS](https://fedoramagazine.org/coming-soon-fedora-on-lenovo-laptops/). Which is a great step, im just wondering why dont other companies follow this, I'm not saying to abandon windows (Majority of users prefer Windows) , I'm just saying add Linux as an option for the hardware, and let the consumer decide.

Companies prefer Linux for their back-end infrastructures because they know how secure and flexible the system is. So why not offer these systems to consumers and make them aware why Linux is a good option and then let them decide.

Help us bring the native notification in MS Teams for Linux

If you are also using MS Teams for Linux at the workplace, you might also be unhappy about the weird custom notifications. These notifications look ugly on my system, don't respect theming, don't integrate. The worst part is, they don't care about Do not disturb setting in my system and keep popping up. I also came to know it's much worse with WMs out there. Every time I see it, I wish MS should stop trying to make my fine-looking system feel like Windows.
There is a [UserVoice page](https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/39279040-introduce-freedesktop-dbus-notifications-for-linux) but it has very few upvotes. Out of frustration, I've written [a little noscript](https://github.com/Surendrajat/teams_native_notify) to auto-update it few times a day but due to the GitHub CI limit and spam detection, I can't do much.
Request for you all to take a minute of your time and go to the [UserVoice page](https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/39279040-introduce-freedesktop-dbus-notifications-for-linux) and upvote it or just star [this noscript](https://github.com/Surendrajat/teams_native_notify) and it will trigger one event for one upvote :) Much thanks.

Remotely retrieving the results of a netstat command on 5 app servers

I have 5 application servers where I need to monitor a certain TCP connection count every few seconds. Currently I open 5 Putty terminals and simply run the command "watch 2 'netstat -an | grep '10.10.10.10:443' | wc -1' which effectively gives me a connection count from 10.10.10.10 (the upstream load balancer) which refreshes every two seconds.

I'd like to formalize this a bit into an external dashboard as well as have some notification and alert logic based on various thresholds. I know nodeJS, Python, Bash and have experience building API's and dashboards which poll them. But before I reinvent the wheel I was wondering if there's already some established way to "publish" the results of a command to some pipeline such that it can be consumed by an external service. I do have Splunk at my disposal but am not familiar enough with it to know if it can run a custom command such as this.

Ethical Linux

This is my first post on reddit, so excuse my newbiness, lol.

My post is about a way to get Linux back to its roots. Once upon a time, Linux/GNU was not just free and open-source, but also was supported by average people who just wanted to make a better operating system than what was being pushed by Microsoft, IBM, and etc. Fast forward 20 years and now we have multiple corporations that anti-thetical to everything Linux/GNU is contributing not just software, but actually contributing to the Linux kernel.

I don't know about anyone else but this disturbs me greatly. I understand that because Linux/GNU is open-source that anyone can contribute, but that's like letting the fox spoil the grapes because it may also run off vermin that are trying to do the same thing -- it makes no sense. Yes, the code is open-source and anyone can audit it -- I get that. The problem is who controls Linux/GNU -- is it the community or corporations? Considering Microsoft is now the 5th biggest contributor to the Linux kernel, I'd say the balance is tipping in the direction of the corporations. Then there is IBM gobbling up Red Hat. There is a point of no return that I fear we are approaching with control of Linux/GNU and we may have already surpassed it.

My question is, how do we return to the days when Linux/GNU was a community project and had little to no input from corporate entities? Is this even possible anymore? I pray that we haven't lost the war even though we won a few battles. If this isn't possible, then what is next for Linux/GNU?

Thanks for reading and hope you all are staying safe.

Jon
