What about Wine? Is that still a thing?
Visual Studio Code seems to be their big open source push, besides GitHub. Everyone uses it, and most development environments and UX are based on it. Used to be Atom, I remember.

Pedantic, but VS Code does not share a lineage with Atom, besides the fact that it is built on Electron (which was, admittedly, originally built for Atom.)
I meant Atom used to be the base, and now it's VSCode
VS Code was not based on Atom's code base.

I don't understand how VS Code is an "open source push". It's technically open source, but open source doesn't seem to be strategically important to it.
Not all of it is OSS. The core language servers are closed, I think.
> Visual Studio Code ... open source
Pick one.
They meant VS Code (which is at least partially open source).

Heard of Apple Game Porting Toolkit? That's built on the back of Wine.
Microsoft has been open sourcing a bunch of their programs for a while now too. Majority are inconsequential but they are still nice to see. People on Linux OS's are excited about Microsoft calculator being open source but these open source projects still show that some people there have interest in the push.
Valve's steam deck runs on Linux/Wine. Wine is more popular than ever.
Wine, as part of Proton/SteamOS is a huge success.
Wine is still active, but I think mostly with Valve's proton, if that's the Wine you're talking about.
