I know it's not comparable to Google, but Microsoft did significantly invest in open source, they also open sourced .NET, made TypeScript, VS Code

It also made Linux viable on desktop :P
WSL is my favourite Linux distro...well favourite is too strong. It's the one I hate the least.

Curious, do run into any network/IO performance issues? Last time I checked, networking is horrible, I mean `npm install ` would time out when it works on the host without issues, and this was a well known issue. Haven't touched WSL for a while because of this.

Were you using WSL1? It did have some areas that needed improvement (which is what prompted to Microsoft to replace it).

Fair. These are good examples of open source that Microsoft did! I love all 3 of those.

The average joe can't do shit with open source. The average coder cannot sell the fruits of the progession, because of open source. And most individuals can't do anything with open source, since they lack funding. Who profit from open source? Big companies.
Don't you get it? The whole initiative is a trojan horse.
