As a life long Linux fan I hold the position that the reason they started moving to Linux is all the MS engineers realized how much easier it was to use Linux when MS first started rolling out Azure and that's why they put in WSL.
My hope is the new Windows is now just the Linux kernel that runs an emulator for windows.
EDIT: For clarification this is mostly meant humorously, but there is some hope there. Because dream big right.

- carlosf 5y agoMy wet dream: MS buys Canonical and Windows + Ubuntu become one. As a Devops / sysadmin the biggest value MS brings to the table is Azure AD/MDM/PIM. I feel like we really have stepped up our security game with those tools. I just wanted some Linux distro that had something equivalent. Ubuntu 21 already has native AD integration. Must be a sign right?
