Just install linux bro, it's not that difficult. You'll have to compile the F-35 drivers from source, but that's just the cost of having a reliable system.

I'd recommend using an atomic distro. Then if you get shot to pieces you can roll back to a good state.

It would be nice to have a distro with some basic flight control drivers preconfigured so we didn't have to build from scratch for every airframe. Maybe wouldn't get the same performance profile as proprietary drivers but something that could get off the ground. It could even be called AvioNix.

Wouldn't it be handy to have a *Live*USB at hand?

The pilot should check if that yellow striped cable is a lanyard for a USB.

It seems like they'd already be running Linux. I thought the joke of the post is that no aircraft engineers would ever trust those systems with a Microsoft trash OS

They are probably running a custom embedded operating system for small size and real time scheduling. While linux is capable of that now its support and implementation is still iffy.

The f35, and most weapons systems, are *nix based, and typically Linux these days.

F-35 runs on INTEGRITY-178B

That's cool, looks like it was used by Orion too, although the details are sparse
