A Microsoft Linux distribution would be very interesting.
Maybe PowerShell would be the default command-line interface.
VS Code would be the default text editor.
.NET Core programming languages would be in the default SDK with the ability to seamlessly develop applications and push to Azure.
They could even include a way to run legacy Windows applications to maintain backward compatibility with all the previous Windows applications--a Windows subsystem for Linux.
Seriously though, if Microsoft created a full desktop Linux distro I would definitely want to try it.

- thesuperbigfrog 6y ago>> You have no idea how much stuff expects the shell to behave like bourne shell. Would you please elaborate what you mean by this statement? The C shell (csh / tcsh) and the Korn shell (ksh) don't follow Bourne shell conventions and yet they work fine as login shells and script interpreters. It seems logical that PowerShell could be further adapted to be more Unix-like with "read" and "print" functions that would attempt to bridge the object / plaintext divide similar to the "read" and "print" functions that are used in Lisp-like languages to convert between Lisp-like forms and plaintext.
