Probably people think this is a troll or something.
I wrote it because I was surprised, especially since I'm not a fan of microsoft and their policies. Lately, I have the feeling Microsoft is better than Google (relative terms) when it comes to oss.
What is additionally surprising is the breaches of Microsoft services in the last year. There is one every few weeks or so... And then they pick up a backdoor because login took 0.5 instead of 0.1s.
Anyway, his findings are amazing.
Microsoft employee.
This was a great talk (video you linked, not the article). Wonder what Linus would say about C being a wrong thing today.
They are having the wrong direction since years. If anything, this is the same direction.
I'm a beginner as well and I found Alaska Linux user channel on yt a good source for explanations. First videos are a bit outdated... some new tech like Soong was introduced - which is a new, google developed, build system for Android.

Go to the playlist section. It groups videos per topic, e.g. building a device tree from scratch.
S8 is a not a good choice If I remember correctly, no custom roms exist for that phone. Reasons might be due to exynos of that era...
Can you elaborate on this?
I am looking into doing the same as op and I have no idea what I'm doing.
If you have been running servers since the 90s, can you provide the list of do and donts?
I agree with you sentiment here. That's why I wrote 'relative terms' in my comment.
Since Nadela took over, Microsoft did some open thing which benefited community. So, Microsoft opened somewhat.
During the same time, under Pichai, google went the other way: they focus more on monetization and try to control stuff the apple way. Manifest v3? Google also didn't do anything really worth mentioning in the last 10y in terms of products. Well, except 'attention' article. And even this they didn't believe in and they cannot deliver a decent product. I just tried google advanced Gemini and it's, to put it politely, shit. Google also had some positive actions like mainlining a lot of stuff in Linux Kernel to more easily upgrade android.
So, while google is closing down and making mistakes, Microsoft is opening a bit up.
If you look the state from the last year and the state now. Microsoft improved. Google went the other way.
Microsoft doesn't care about open source, they care about the money Cloud Services using open source bring them. I don't think google cares as well. For reason read this: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2002/06/12/strategy-letter-v/
