@kyrios Also they best make sure they use zero Electron applications since not only does Microsoft contribute to Chromium, but they also have paid engineers that work on Electron for a living 😛
I can sorta understand why you would've been anti-Microsoft before Satya Nadella became CEO, but it's kinda ignorant at this point. Microsoft is a pretty significant contributor to open source software, with even some of their own system applications shipping in Windows being open source under permissive licensing like MIT. They've been contributing to the kernel for years and have been a corporate platinum member of the Linux Foundation, meaning they annually pay at least half a million USD a year and have a say via its Board of Directors, for 4 years now. Hell, SUSE (ya know, the ones that make SUSE Enterprise Linux and openSUSE) is only a "gold" tier member, and Canonical is only a "silver" tier member.
Silver tier is 5-20k. I mean, when Solus accepts donations again, we could even be a silver-tier member. Not saying we would, I'm just saying the bar is that low. Of course, that's ignoring all the engineers Canonical has contributing open source on a daily basis and Canonical was operating at a loss almost exclusively year-over-year for over a decade, but the point is you have a company that used to be so anti-Linux that they used to have anti-Linux marketing campaigns donating at least 25x more (500000 / 20000, if we're being generous about Canonical) on a yearly basis than a company that has contributed to Linux for years and actively has tried to make money off of it (which is fine, seriously) since 2004. Not saying Canonical hasn't contributed more to open source than Microsoft in the long-term, just saying what the situation is now.
It's time for you to re-assess the landscape and your notions of it.
