GNU/Linux Grew a Lot in United Arab Emirates (UAE)

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 03, 2026

Yesterday evening - or in the late afternoon - we walked past the stadium of "Etihad" (aka "Manchester City Stadium") a couple of times, seeing that the hotel construction there is nearing completion (the outdoor/exterior bits) and I was told by family that their airline has spectacular service and deserves loyalty for it. Tomorrow there will be an important match there (FA Cup, against Liverpool FC). We benefit a lot from their investment in this area.

as we noted here before, UAE is adopting more and more of GNU/Linux in recent times, especially this past year.

What does the future hold for Dubai after the war? Some reconstruction will be needed; for now, GAFAM datacentres there are at risk of bombing [1, 2]. Technology procurement should be done accordingly (according to these risks). █
