From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I don’t know of anyone with a modicum of experience with cloud solutions that would pretend it is making anything “simpler” lol
The only closed parts of Docker are Docker Desktop, which isn’t required at all, and Docker Hub, which is a repo like any other. You can load images from anywhere. It’s hard to take anything you say regarding container technology seriously if you seriously think VMs & Ansible/Chef/Puppet really answers the same problems as lightweight containers.
MS did take some language servers and relicensed them, yes. Other language servers still exist, and the LSP protocol is still open, and used in many other editors.
This reads like “Real Programmers Don’t Use Pascal”, minus the tongue in cheek tone…
You just missed the point. There are always alternatives, generally not as good and unlike before all tooling is now hostage of some big provider.
Feel free to point where I missed the point, cause I don’t see it. Outside these “functions as a service” things like Lambda, I genuinely struggle to think of anything that’s truly “hostage” of a big provider or just plain worse. Especially amongst the examples you’ve given.
