        Microsoft has a lot of luck with that.

            Something I’ve often wondered: Comparing the size of the group that uses self-hosted and F/OSS stuff like Gitea to the size of the group that uses Github, et al. I wonder how we stack up as a measure of success.

      This is clear to me, also that MS like Google is very involved in the world of OpenSource (GitHub is from MS). But it should also be added that large corporations also use many APIs and scripts in many FOSS products that allow them to continue profiling the user. if these “additions” are not removed from the product to be used. MS is also clear that, at least in the EU, more and more computer stores sell PCs only with FreeDOS, to leave the OS to the user’s decision, with this their business is being reduced anyway and so is their influence, which in the EU it is minimal. The difference between MS USA tracking and MS EU is abysmal.

    I would think this wouldn’t be a good idea, but neat to have a major player explaining it for us I guess.

      The most comprehensive Installation Guide is the one on ArchWiki bar none. I used the ArchWiki well before I started using Arch Linux, it’s just that good.
