      LMAO. Microsoft really made Windows Server and won’t even use that crap themselves.

        Have you used WS? It is a beast and is totally different. It is also the only option for many organizations as Samba and Linux aren’t doable in some cases.

          It is for running on Azure and is the base under WSL.

          Depends on the given software but kernel edits for instance need to be public. That’s why Android is open source

          Since this is their Cloud software I imagine they need to provide their source to customers.

          It might just have been easier to push the whole of the open source side than it would be to pick and choose

    Seems to be based mostly on Fedora by reading the Readme.

    I would like to know if it does use systemd and/or other redhat technologies.

    In the readme they mention Qt, does anyone know what DE do they use?

      I don’t think it ships with a desktop environment by default; I think they’re just referring to the Qt framework. If it is mentioning a desktop environment - it’s probably LXQt.

        I know Microsoft gave Gnome a donation of 10.000$ because they use Ubuntu (which use Gnome) and inside the repo (inside SPECS folder) I’ve seen gnome-commons to build gnoem stuff.

        But yes, this is probably a server distro without a DE.

      It does use systemd. It uses SELinux and dnf as well. It seems to be patterned in Fedora or CentOS Stream. There is no desktop environment.

      I’d wager it uses systemd considering Lennart Poettering works for Microsoft.

      If you follow the links, you’ll see that it’s essentially a new name for/ release of CBL-Mariner. from the GitHub readme:

      CBL-Mariner is an internal Linux distribution for Microsoft’s cloud infrastructure and edge products and services.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
