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.

Why do you make the argument that Red Hat is the biggest contributor?

Searching Linux contributor breakdown by organization puts them tied for 3rd at ~7%.

Don't get me wrong. Intel leading the corporate contributions is worse. lol

All-time contributions are led by Red Hat at 15%. Many top organizational contributors guilty of profiting from the genocidal industrial complex. Maybe TempleOS was the true alternative.

    Pardon, I remembered it so from a graph I saw a few months ago. Perhaps I misremembered, or perhaps things changed since then

    You were right. Red Hat leads all time.

    All the major organizational contributors are guilty of profiting from genocide. TempleOS might be the one true alternative.
