Caption: 🇫🇷🥐France has ordered 2.5 million Windows computers be switched to Linux and other countries in the EU have announced similar measures.

## Source limitations
No local Whisper/faster-whisper command was available, so speech transcripts were not produced. The article uses Instagram captions, visible frames, frame analysis and external source records. ComputerWeekly and DOL direct pages blocked automated capture; their preserved search-result text and accessible White House/GovInfo/AP/TechCrunch/Ars records are included.

## Editorial framing
Both Reels contain real kernels. The article does not treat either as fully proven conspiracy evidence. The France/Linux claim is treated as a digital-sovereignty policy story with a disputed/overbroad 2.5M wording. The Thiel/401(k) claim is treated as a juxtaposition/correlation claim, not proof of causation.
