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?

Specialized niche products are often expensive.

They simply can't operate at the scale that allows for the sorts of cost efficiency that comes with mass manufacturing.

But for the niche they serve, they are both quality and a good value for money (compared to other available options).

Oh, absolutely. Completely agree.

And I am happy that 45 drives is a strong proponent of ZFS.
