That's great. But I work adjacent to the financial industry, and the govt is forcing that industry in the opposite direction. Payments Canada mandates all ATMs be on Windows. Regulators, even the provincial ones, effectively force mergers + cloud adoption, in part because our government regulators are all in the cloud and it's "easier" to integrate / less risk from their POV. Almost all your 'scanned' cheques, go through Microsoft's cloud.

Most banks use FISERV for their backend, which runs off an Oracle database -- both US companies. Some use Temenos, an EU company with all its development in India, and fully in US clouds. Big CUs like Vancity use Intellect Design for their Online banking, an Indian Headquartered company, with most of its developers in the UAE, running the application via Microsoft Cloud. Some orgs like First West use Veripark, an app so nested in MS cloud it can't be moved to another hyper scaler. The big banks are 100% captured.

Even many smaller "community" credit unions have these entanglements. There's only 1 CU in BC that I know of that uses a Canadian back end (made by a Canadian company, in Canada, with Canadian devs, hosted in a Canadian private cloud - runs on SUSE and postgres if I recall right). But even with them, they're stuck using services like Equifax which are entangled in US shit, because the gov/regulators view getting Credit Score information as more important than handing over people's personal information to the US. And even with that Canadian stack, they ain't growing -- they'll likely be killed off by regulators soon enough, forced to merge and send more data to the USA by govt decree. David Eby doesn't give a shit, nor does Carney. Hell, Carney was a bank regulator type, who basically pushed this shit forward. Guy basically dug our grave, and we're hoping he'll dig us out.

Long and short, it's great that your business is protecting itself, or trying to. But if all of Canada's critical industries are as captured as the financial sector, it won't really matter much what we do in other industries. If people can't pay for your businesses goods, because all of our digital payments go offline due to the US's interference, having a linux server won't save you.
