        Google, definitely. Microsoft sliiiightly less so, windows specifically you can turn off most monitoring and telemetry- though it would still violate the 100% FOSS idea since windows is technically proprietary

          With Windows turning off telemetry will be an ongoing battle as updates find new ways to enable shit.

        Technically android is open source, though. You could install AOSP on a device and not use any Google services

          Except in reality nobody really does that. Everyone uses google play services / gapps because they pretty much have to.

        Microsoft has been contributing a ton to FOSS the last 5 or 6 years.

        Their flagship programming language, .net, is fully OSS and runs best on Linux.
