From the video description:
45Drives is De-Microsoft-ifying and leading the charge by replacing Windows with Linux desktops and replacing proprietary solutions with open source. This topic of “demicrosoftification” was discussed at the Creator Summit 2024 at 45Drives headquarters. I attended along with many other tech YouTubers in this space. They also gave us a sneak peek at some new hardware too and an early look at some unique prototypes.
I left the original title in quotes since I’m not familiar with the company, aside from what I’ve read about them online. While it’s focused on commercial customers, it still seems neat.
If you have interacted with 45Drives, or their parent company Protocase, what are they like?


I’ve bought a few things from 45Drives. Pretty happy with them. Good to know they’re fighting the good fight.
