Imagine a world where they discontinue windows and just focus on azure Linux. I'll keep dreaming

Microsoft has already contributed a shitton to the Linux kernel. So long as they don’t evict, only augment, it’s a good thing.

Besides, they killed their golden goose with windows 11 and are now looking for escape routes they can plan for.

Not particularly, but if their big OS was Linux based, people could get their corporate support, and most of the software keeping people locked into windows would theoretically be able to run on any Linux distro. That's the dream. I want to run solid works on Linux natively

It was a long time ago, but I remember seeing that Microsoft contributed more to the Linux kernel than Canonical.

If Windows 12 was just a Linux distro with Windows branding, it would probably be just as successful.

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.
