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.

Honestly, I doubt it at this point. There's far too much reliance on Linux for first party PaaS services in Azure. They even let employees Intune join Linux machines, though I understand distribution choice is very limited.
Azure still uses windows as the desktop though. They want desktop users because that's where the data comes from
What do you mean by that? Azure is, at it's heart, a virtualization platform with a large number of services built upon it. Are you talking about the AVD service?
