Got the invite, but chat is still not available? Any ideas?
Download Edge Dev from https://microsoftedgeinsider.com

Only in canonical store
Very much not open source, except maybe some pieces, the repo is just a damn readme and an MIT license (???), like "oh yeah, thanks, let me fork your readme, it's always been my dream"
-
Edge source code got removed from github?
It was never in that repository as confirmed by the commit log: https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/MSEdge/commits/master

List of free open source software for windows.
No. Microsoft Edge is fully open-source: https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge. It even has an MIT license.

no sound
I'm distrustful of Microsoft as well. That said, Microsoft is changing and it is best to keep oneself updated on what Microsoft is saying and doing in regard to Open Source. https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/MSEdge
- Microsoft Edge surpasses Safari as the second most popular desktop browser

I have no idea what I'm doing
Not exactly. Chromium, which edge is based on, itself is open source, but the microsoft browser has too much hidden tracking stuff to be open source. https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/MSEdge

I'm a clown in my previous post
Just showing the github means nothing. Microsoft Edge has a github, but it just has a readme and an "MIT" license. The actual thing isn't open source.

Ask HN: Why are we so at the mercy of Google and Mozilla for web browsers?
> What exactly is keeping developers from making a fully featured open source web browser not at the mercy of Google or the browser's developers?
It is incredibly difficult to build a web browser because of the sheer complexity and scope. You are essentially building an entire platform on the scale of an operating system that must support legacy features and behavior from decades ago. Users expect everything to just work, and if you can't make it work, then they have little incentive to use your product. Just ask Microsoft[0].

Microsoft is ending support for the Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA)
They're even already producing their own Linux distribution, CBL-Mariner, https://github.com/microsoft/azurelinux
-
GitHub and Developer Ecosystem Control
This became even more interesting as Microsoft started to open source core technology such as Powershell, the DotNET platform, their internal Linux distribution, and much more. All this hosting on GitHub also made sense acquisition wise.

Linux hit over 3% desktop user share according to Statcounter
Quite a few servers and network switches, actually.
- SUSE Preserves Choice in Enterprise Linux by Forking RHEL
- LXD is now under Canonical
- CBL-Mariner – internal Linux distribution for Microsoft’s cloud infrastructure
-
What is the future of Windows?
Likely a recognisable ‘Windows’ GUI on-top of CBL-Mariner
- Microsoft has made Azure Linux generally available
-
Excuse me, WHAT THE FUCK
Nothing new. For several years they already developed and maintained CBL-Mariner (Common Build Linux) https://github.com/microsoft/CBL-Mariner Which od a base for Azure Linux and other projects.
