Why I don't use Angular?
Angular = TypeScript
TypeScript = MS
I will not support MS in any way.

@AndSoWeCode I don't care if it is destructive. MS does shady shit, I don't want to support.

I’m not a fan of most MS stuff, but I didn’t let that stop me trying typescript.

I really like it, it’s a much more solid language.

... also pretty sure you can use angular with Javascript, since it gets transpiled anyway

@AndSoWeCode
It is not an argument, that because most things are closed source, it is good.
If I want an open source phone: Buy a custom-rom friendly phone, install LineageOS, dont install GAPPS, use F-Droid. There you have your fully open-source OS.

Why do I need to pay extra for my laptop, if I don't use Windows? The first thing I do with new devices is installing a Linux distro.

It is called boycotting. If you don't like a tech-company, don't use their products.

I am happy to see Windows loosing market share. You can see how MS tries to save their other products, but I'm sure, that the executives at MS know, that Windows will not survive long.

@AndSoWeCode btw. Richard Stallman is the founder of GNU. In today's society some would say he wears a tinfoil hat. His opinions are pretty extreme, but I like that.

@AndSoWeCode it is still managed by MS. The maintainers are MS employees. Same with VSCode. And again, "neo-hipster trend" is nothing bad.

@Scrumplex you shouldn't buy a laptop with Windows if you're going to overwrite it anyway. Plenty of choices with Linux or FreeDOS

You can buy laptops with Linux installed. They're harder to find maybe but whether or not Windows is installed is entirely up to the manufacturer....not MS
