Why do many Linux fans have a greater distaste for Microsoft over Apple?

by plump.mentor-0z . Updated 2 years, 8 months ago

I am just curious to know this. Even though Apple is closed today and more tightly integrated within their ecosystem, they are still liked more by the Linux community than Microsoft. I am curious to know why that is the case and why there is such a strong distaste for Microsoft even to this day.

I would love to hear various views on this! Thank you to those who do answer and throw your thoughts out! 🙂
It’s not my case (I dislike both of them more or less the same way), but like most people I remember that Microsoft actively fought against FOSS in general, and Linux in particular.

While the company has changed a lot since then, I can understand that people still resent Microsoft for that.
