Microsoft Makes The Extensible Storage Engine Open-Source

[Spacefish]

I don´t get why so many people rant against .NET Core.
I mean, yeah there are aspects to it that are windows only, but the BCL (base library) and a lot of things run fine on linux!
Things that are quite Operating System specific / already have libraries in the operating system are sometimes not ported.. Like mDNA/Bonjour or all the User Management / Ad-Integration things..

With VSCode and omnisharp you even have a full IDE/Debugger experience on linux.

A C# backend based on simple MVC Controller pattern and a Angular Web UI is a quite powerfull development platform for most use cases. I mean no one really does Fatclient applications today and the "server side" is completly headless.
You even have the object relational mapper library (Entity Framework) fully working on linux, with database schema migrations / handling and so on.

A lot of the things are even faster on linux than on win32 in my experience.
M$ customers demand linux support, as no one seriously runs a backend, NoSQL DB or processing for a web-application on a Windows based OS..
Fat clients, appart from "Apps" are dead.. Almost no company does Fat-Client development for new products.
Microsoft can´t even decide on which UI-Framework they prefer themselfs for UIs.. They have like 3-4 "UWP","WPF","WinForm","MFC","Plain Win32"... They all suck compared to modern web frameworks like angular or react / web development in general.

How about MS office and/or AD for Linux instead?

Why SolidWorks, CATIA, Altium Designer or Davinci Resolve is still closed code???

With stupid system or license fanboys from IT talking is pointless.

I don't know; I guess its just their business model.
However, there are opensource projects that rival them
Altium -> KiCad
Davinci Resolve -> Kdenlive
SolidWorks and CATIA depend a bit on what you are doing but FreeCad does at least some of it..

LOL . No, this software is away different.

So, maybe M$ business M$ model is similar.

LOL. Well, if it is away, it's clearly difficult to use

I don't think you understood my post. You can distribute closed-source software via flatpak. See zoom, spotify, etc.
