Linux is used to make money, no doubt, as a professional tool or platform, utilizing a lot of good will out of the open source coder community.
Microsoft’s suite of tools are vendor locked to an ecosystem, just like Redhat is doing.
Also, short of their cloud service and office suite, I see only their gaming sphere of influence. Both the cloud and the office suite are replaceable, but both are managed in vendor lockin and monopolistic manners.
I have and will resent both Microsoft and RedHat.
I do not resent SUSE, in spite of them being all business, because they are much less tyrannical.
They create their own versions of cloud stack projects, SAP and other software while customizing a Linux distribution to deliver said tools.
I’m sure if I’ll dig deep down, I’ll be able to find shenanigans, but I haven’t heard much about them in the media so I consider them decent. Might be wrong, though.
