From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Most of us hate Microsoft, and yet many of us use VSCode (lemm.ee)

I get that it's open source provided you use codium not code but I still find that interesting

Netbeans for the win(at least for Java, I don't know how good it is for other languages)

I hate Windows and dislike a lot of Microsoft products, but I think we're way past Microsoft being the bad guy. They kinda like Linux now, and probably do more good than bad for it. There are much worse companies in tech, I think Microsoft's worst crimes as of late is creating Teams and being boring.

@flashgnash also edge is a great browser we just hate it because of the way they force you to use it

[–] sekhat@lemmy.temporus.me 0 points 1 year ago

Once upon a time Internet Explorer was a great browser. Until they successfully forced the majority to use it.

I actually really like edge, if it weren't for telemetry I'd probably still use it on linux

We got to be mature. Microsoft (and many other corporations) are a problem due to their unfair practices. But this is not a moral war against them, when we are not the problem. If we have vscodium, which is opensource and it has telemetry removed, which is the problem?

I would be happy if they didn't made the internet a worse place, if they weren't greedy billionaire assholes, if they didn't have a monopoly, but vscode does not affect my sleep.

Run three flavours of Linux at home and love Microsoft. Why does everything have to be in opposition?

[–] WuTang@lemmy.ninja -3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

nope, I deeply hate microsoft and I don't use their products. Millennials don't know the history.

Most of this thread reminds me how unbearable the open source community can be.
