A Cold Day in Hell: Microsoft posts Linux installation tutorial

[Jan]

Microsoft publishes tutorial to install Linux

In an unexpected move, Microsoft has published guidance on downloading and installing Linux, with four different installation methods.

It presents the options of using Windows Subsystem for Linux 2, a local virtual machine (VM), a cloud VM, or installing on bare metal.

As a Linux user, I can't help but be suspicious...

I think this explains the weather...

I've got the Linux kernel here (version 6.1 to b e exact) and it's doing it's thing, so technically, I am running Linux...

Well, if Microsoft is actively supporting Linux, then it's only matter or time...

I'm told there's a 3rd party app that makes Win Corel usable on Linux

Is this that Linux Tech Tips guy on youtube they are referring to?

I dunno, but it won't surprise me if it happens and is something Ubuntu-based...

You cannot really own a distro, can you? Basically goodwill, a client base for support and a few people.

Many people would not be surprised if they acquired Canonical at some point
