    why not? it’s not like there is any competition.
    Microsoft is making more money off Linux with Azure than several red hats combined.

    The performance speed between WSL, virtual machines, and bare metal Linux has become so close that few developers choose this method due to the overhead of needing to restart (reboot) your device any time you want to switch between the operating systems.

    And there’s the attempt at discouraging you from going bare-metal.

    I doubt that “few developers choose this” is true.

    I love when people on the Internet say “X did Y quietly” to make it more suspenseful. This doesn’t look quiet to me…

    I have one dream for Linux. I’m a huge OSS fan and I want to see it thrive.

    I think Microsoft should partner with Oracle to make Oracle Linux 9 support all the Microsoft ecosystem. I want AD in Linux. I want Microsoft Word on Linux. Oracle Linux 9 is the obvious successor to RHEL and Microsoft has an opportunity here to build something great.

    Lmao just kidding
