If someone ever did make a really good desktop/window manager/whatever for linux it would just create another SystemD type controversy where the community eats itself alive in a bizarre reaction to actual improvement.

that happened already

the gnome vs kde split will never heal

ms can't integrate gplv3 code into their base os. no way any lawyer would sign off on that.

they run unmodified linux binaries on a windows kernel. there's no gpl issue because there are no derivative works

as long as microsoft is happy to provide the source code and build scripts for the (unmodified!) linux userland, they're A-OK

i literally do think that microsoft opted for the ubuntu collaboration on the windows subsystem for linux because they too realize that ubuntu is sort of poo poo, and it helps no real competitor in any real way when they implement it

I assumed they are partnering with canonical because red hat and suse turned them down

Ubuntu is the most popular cloud VM guest and ~cloud is the future~

So I'm pretty sure 90% of this comes from the Azure arm of MS, which has a bit of an independent mandate.

pls post your sources

how on earth can ubuntu be more numerous than "amazon linux" aka centos
