While I've been considering the switch, for anyone newly reading this, there is bias. Gitea claims the company they formed will not build enterprise-only features, and exist solely to charge for support contracts. In nearly a year since, this has been true, and Forgeja appears to be a soft fork unless that changes. Plenty of open source companies exist, you may even be posting from one.
Oh fine then. So, just like Micro$oft VSCode and Codium.
I am posting from open-source software built by nonprofit organizations, like Mozilla Firefox. The Linux Kernel seems also to be developed by a legal entity. So, maybe it also counts?
P. S. And yeah, I'm using a distro made by a for-profit company (that one with an X logo but not that one)
So you are on MX Linux?
Nope, Tuxedo's stock OS that is based on Kubuntu but without snaps
You stating "for-profit company" should have been a hint that I could not possibly have beeen correct. I should read better. 😆
