    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

      It would be nice to have a distro with some basic flight control drivers preconfigured so we didn’t have to build from scratch for every airframe. Maybe wouldn’t get the same performance profile as proprietary drivers but something that could get off the ground. It could even be called AvioNix.
