I admire Germany's approach and awareness. At least they try.
There's 20-years old saga of linux vs windows battle in the Munich City Council [1]. Great case study.
I'm very curious how this will work for them. It's quite a struggle to adopt OSS where the vast majority of users think "Office suite" == "M$ Office".

The inertia of Java projects is huge. IMHO the future of Java depends on the perception that can be created for Java as an attractive ecosystem for greenfield projects.

At our company, most of the greenfield projects (with a high-performance profile) are in Java. So, for what our anecdotal example is worth, I can confirm that Java is used for new projects.
IMHO, Java fell a bit behind with the rise of the microservices/lambda paradigm because of its memory footprint and slow start. On the other hand, it's an amazing piece of technology, and I would expect that with ahead-of-time compilation and JVM snapshots, it will become more appealing for these use cases.

My humble prediction is that with introduction of ahead-of-time compilation and JVM snapshots the adoption of Java based microservices will increase.
These upcoming Java features open new interesting doors.

It's funny how this is a common fallacy.
I thought exactly the same when Barings Bank was sold for one British Pound back in 1995 [1].

Right, enterprises should get rid of Java just the same way as they did with COBOL... Oh, wait...

> The screen is just small enough to be too annoying to do anything really distracting on
I'm a happy user of Jelly 2 for a half year now and I bought it for this single reason. It's fully featured so you can do anything, but the screen is so small that you do it only when there's a real need, so I'm not wasting time staring at the phone for no real reason.
Cons: My co-workers make fun of me :)
Edit: formatting

+1 for that. Especially Zoom LiveTrak L-8 has nice pack of features for its size (nowhere as portable as TX-6, but still) and is also battery powered.

I wonder what would need to happen to convince the management that actually they could run on Linux? I mean, 3 years ago the belief was we couldn't work from home because that would harm productivity.

Not exactly related, but some time ago I realized it's not ok to make fun of people with physical disabilities but somehow it's totally acceptable to make fun of people with lower IQ.
