This is fedi.

No, but "not Microsoft" does mean "more secure". You'd be foolish not to be suspicious of software produced by a company that has such a close relationship with the government of a major power, but most especially this company and this government. I do not know if you are old enough to remember watching what shook out in the 90s in this industry, but you are surely old enough to remember Microsoft on all of the PRISM slides if not but if you cannot build the project yourself from source you have downloaded, and the binaries come from Microsoft, you are owned. DRM, DMCA, TPM, TCI, all of these things were pushed by Microsoft.

What's that got to do with anything?
