Isn't OBS the industry standard?

I think Power BI is part of 'Cloud Platform System', which is in the
list.
BTW, Dufus just made it into my killfile by being a dufus.

It is great in theory, but everyone seems to want to have their own
distribution so rather than working together for a common goal, they're
working apart. Theoretically, the improvements go into the same pool no
matter what but I wonder if they actually do.
It's great in practice. I don't WANT everyone working for a common goal, or
a single distribution. One distribution could be controlled by one group of people. One distribution could more easily be attacked with an exploit. The so-called "weakness" in Linux (too many distributions) is to me its
strength. It's how it says completely open source.
Choice is good.
I've also read that more was made of this than was intended. So I'm not
sure which story to believe. I DO know that at least one Russian kernel developer was blocked from contributing without going through the normal procedures (and without acknowledgment of what he's done for the kernel)
by some censor-crazed committee or (probably) some small-minded
committee member.

I'm noticing that a lot of people who think the way you and I do have
lost confidence in Linux and have started to move toward other projects
like Serenity, BSD, Haiku and now RiscOS. Linux is starting to smell as
bad as Marx did so some people with traditional values who also hate
proprietary software are opting to jump ship.
I'm not sure how you're getting "Marx" connected to Linux. Marx demanded compliance, Linux is for choice and freedom. It seems the *lack* of control and slavish compliance is what you don't like about Linux.
Choice is good. I don't know anything about Serenity or RiscOS, but I've tried BSD and Haiku (if you don't like Linux I'm pretty sure you won't like either one of them, but it won't hurt to give them a shot). I'll check out RiscOS and Serenity — I like the name of Serenity at any rate.

I'm guessing you didn't look up Serenity or RiscOS. Serenity has to be compiled in Linux and it runs in QEMU (as a virtual machine). RiscOS is designed for Raspberries and other small ARM CPU, one board computers.
Serenity touts a 1990s style desktop with a late 2000s Linux vibe. I'm
trying to figure out why that's even a "thing."
But if people want it, that's their choice and they're welcome to it.

Okay. But I think the most popular OS on the Raspberry Pi is still
Debian.
(I may be wrong about that. I have a Raspberry, but it's in storage in
Texas, and I'll probably never see it again.)
These thin clients are actually cheaper and more useful than the
Raspberry Pi and other small, one board computers. About $30 (or less) shipped if you're patient on eBay. They aren't ARM though, they run
Intel or AMD (on the 5060) 64 bit CPUs. Very low wattage, no fans, just
a big heat sync.
Finland was actually part of Sweden until 1809 when it became part of
Russia in (I'm guessing) their war with Sweden. The Finns declared independence after the Soviet Revolution and, for the most part, the
Soviets gave them their independence. So, until very recent history, I
think the relationship was more or less peaceful with a good deal of
trade between the two countries.
I don't know what a GPIO is, but I'm guessing it has something to do
with input and output(?) — maybe for a camera? My WYSE 5070 has seven standard USB ports (five 3.x and two 2.x) plus a USB-C port that doubles
as a Display Port. A speaker jack, a headphone jack, a 9-pin serial
port, two standard Display Ports, an add-on VGA port and an Ethernet
port. WiFi is optional. I do have a WiFi card on another WYSE 5070 but
not on the one I use. I normally use Ethernet cables for my computers.
