While they ditch Microsoft, Amazon and Oracle: we still use Linux, Sel4, ASML and ARM.
There's lots of interesting stuff to watch out for.

There's lots of interesting stuff to watch out for.
I spend a month in Oregon every year mushroom hunting and elk hunting.
Once you're away from a few key cities, Oregonians are more conservative and hardcore than even central Californians.
I think you underestimate your state if you think they're anti American.
Linus Torvalds is very pro–corporate, pro–tivoization, he thinks GPL3 was a terrible mistake.
He is against the "GPLv3 or later clause" because the FSF could change the license terms if it gets hijacked.
Is he pro-tivoization, or is he not against it?
I heard him talk about GPLv3 someday, and what he said was that it was a mistake to call it "GPLv3", as if it was the evolution of GPLv2, because for him it should have been a totally different licence.
Which I find fair: there are different kinds of copyleft (like MPL vs GPL), it makes sense to say that GPLv2 is a different concept than GPLv3. Whereas I don't know if anyone should use GPLv1 because GPLv2 sounds like it fixed GPLv1 without changing its spirit.
All of the things OP mentioned are non-US tech. I think the OP was speaking from a US perspective, though it’s not clear.
What's wrong in using Linux. It is an open source project with origins in Finland and still lead by a Fin.
