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.

Embrace.
LMAO. Microsoft really made Windows Server and won't even use that crap themselves.
They don't want to deal with their licensing either 😂
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.
SAMBA? Did you mean Azure blob storage?
No Samba as in the SMB server
You missed the joke
Still funny that there's a Microsoft Linux distro. Didn't think that would ever happen 20 years ago.
It is so funny to me as well. I remember M$ calling Linux cancer
They were right, it’s metastasising now

MS has been using Linux on their servers for years
And are now releasing something for users, which is a different animal.
It is for running on Azure and is the base under WSL.
Literally no difference.
Oh neat! What comes after that?
Extend and then Extinguish
