They should be standard protocols and you should be able to change server to competition. Be great if it was all open, but failing that, standards, competition and right to repair.
I think you mean "had".
As I said, I can see Windows .NET people using Linux for server runtime. Actural Linux natives aren't going to touch that stuff. There is no new Microsoft. I've been hearing new Microsoft for over 20 years. In that time they never stopped the patent trolling, corrupted the ISO process for OOXML, continued their anti competive practices, etc. They never stopped being a big tech monster. Just equally big new monsters came along so they went it to background to those not watching. They still need dealing with. They are the definition of the confusion of standards and monopolies.
I think it will remain a Windows dev thing. Even if they sometimes use Linux as a runtime. Linux devs will use Python or something else. PHP is legacy really now. Go is popular for apps started at a certain time, but Rust seams to be replacing it. Which is good as Go is as Google as C# is MS.
You got some stats? The Debian stats say no one is using it on the desktop or traditional server stuff. I can believe Windows C# Dev are porting their closed service to Linux to improve, well, everything.
They are saying very little in Linux world moved to .NET/C# : https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=mono
It's just not popular in Linux world despite MS attempts to make it so. It's a Windows people language.
I think it is partly that, but I think it is partly all the bright young tech kids coming in from uni want Linux not Windows. I think it's targeted at inside and outside.
Your not meant to be able to render it outside of MS software. The whole ISO thing was high level game to make a monoply look like a standard. It's a super long standard with closed binary bit that were meant to be temporary. It only got through at due to outside corruption. Governments are as much at fault as MS for being a sleep at the wheel of stopping monopolies and keep the market functional. ISO is broken if something can be a standard where the reference implementation is closed, let alone have any closed bits.
They should be made to open Office. Too much is in those formats for a for profit company to own the reference implementation. Let alone for that reference implementation to be closed.
Reading about this "standard" makes me angry every time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standardization_of_Office_Open_XML
Google and Apple and Amazon and Facebook are all tech bastards too. But Microsoft has not gone away or been solved.

So many American films and TV have the BBC as the token international news. So really not good to not know it. I think it's probably because its neutrality is seen as the wrong bias....
