Why are so many Linux projects on Microsoft GitHub? Shouldn't they all move to Codeberg? (lemmy.ml)

Sure, I know a lot of projects have been on GH since before MS bought it, but they've owned it for quite a while now, so we really should be seeing better migration out by now, no?

Codeberg is nonprofit which seems more in the spirit of the Linux ecosystem overall. GH is for-profit...

EDIT: All right, all right, I've gotten schooled. Thank you, O wise ones; I didn't realize how much Microsoft literally depends on Linux, among other things. I will proceed to shut up.

It's hopefully common knowledge, but just in case, Codeberg is running Forgejo. You can host a compatible instance yourself! It's not that painful.

    just installed forgejo on a locally hosted lxc instance on a spare qemu VM. will use primarily for my own projects and external devs who collaborate on client projects.

    doing my part to give an nvidia sized/shaped "torvalds" to ms.

    edit: love it. glad I finally pulled the trigger on this.
