Probably because of the amount of money they receive. If I understand correctly, they’re set to receive billions of dollars a year through 2028 because of a commitment made by Obama. The US military has its hands in everything and spends money anywhere, buy I think it’s always been disproportionately generous with Israel, and in spite of war crimes it’s committed.

Didn’t say it was hard. To be clear…by saying “well enough,” I mean that I don’t have any major problems with it…I’m just no expert. I find that there are two many pointless “utilities” that only slow the machine down. Both of my last two (brand new) computers have had both Windows and Ubuntu installed before adding anything else. There’s actually still nothing on the Windows partitions, but whenever I switch to it, it’s like switching from a car to a bicycle. It’s ridiculous how Windows can be so, so slow “right out of the box,” while Ubuntu just works.

I can navigate Windows well enough for my job, but I’d never choose it for personal use. I’m no Linux expert, but I haven’t yet been faced with a problem I couldn’t solve.
