  • The mit license allows forking, merging, modifying and releases of modified code. Yes id assume so yes :)
    I have a lot of bad things to say about some microsoft teams and some microsoft managers (cough fluentui webcomponents team cough ), but in general the .net team is a nice one and ive had several nice encounters with few of its devs.
    Just dont know what the actual bloody fuck the manager/team was thinking dropping linux when they made maui…


  • Thats bad paraphrasing. .net is not propiatary and is open source and cross platform now because it started from scratch even before they bought xamarin (.net core). Yes mono did help .net become cross platform, no denying that, but they were already making steps to make that possible. They had to for the cloud/azure.

    On top of that, for future development mono is no longer needed because .net is cross platform, and as an example ive made desktop apps on linux using avalonia which work on mac, windows, linux, …

    Mono’s purpose at this point is only legacy stuff ( aka .net framework projects, aka stuff made with .net 4.8 or lower ) and will not evolve, which is perfect for wine.
    I know it looks like microsoft took what they needed and are now ditching it, and its not untrue, but its always better to have something officially supported by the source instead of some 3th party as it will now evolve on all platforms at the same time and not stay behind the facts. It also will have better performance too since there is less translation going on.

    Dont be salty about this man. Be salty about maui and how it took xamarin and crippled it ( no linux support )




  • Not saying youre wrong, but you took the wrong project as an example hehe.
    Visual code is not open source. Its core is, but visual code isnt. The difference is what visual code ships with, on top of its core.
    Its like saying chrome == chromium ( it isnt ).

    Visual code comes with a lot of features, addins and other stuff that isnt in the core.
    .net debugger for example, is not found in vscodium ( build of the vscode core ). And there is more stuff i cant think of now but have come across. Source: been using vscodium for a few months instead of vscode
