    I think Linux community is holding on hate and toxicity towards Microsoft and their software, you can even see it in comments to this post. Like lemmy is holding on hate towards Reddit (there is even Reddit community to share your anger). So if Microsoft somehow proves that they doesn’t deserve hate they are getting, Linux community will be shaved.

      Youre talking about a huge megacorporation like a person. Oh no poor billy is getting bullied by a few nerds who use a different operating system.

      Microsoft’s entire business success was taking someone else’s work, building on it, then once they found any level of success they used anti-competitive business practices to become a mega corp and stay that way. The founder is still alive and profiting from the company.

      There is no point in our lifetimes when MS won’t deserve hate for everything they have done, even if there is a begrudging acceptance that they have made changes that make them appear more welcoming to competition.
