Nice seeing this little victory, but a big one for the students.
But to me is what M/S is doing with their WSL (and secure boot). They want to get to the point were Linux can only execute under Windows on new Laptops. The Companies that control Linux (yes, Linux is now pwned by corporate interests) do not care what really happens to Linux as long as Wall Street is happy.
- the_third_wave 4y ago> yes, Linux is now pwned by corporate interests While Linux is big business it is not {p|o}wned by big business. If those corporate interests suddenly all jump in bed with Microsoft (et al.) Linux-the-kernel will still be there as a free software project. Running it on new hardware may become harder but it will still run, drivers may be harder to come by but they will still be developed. Things will go back to where they started with Linux-the-kernel being developed by volunteers, The rest of what makes a Linux distribution will still be developed, projects like Gnome and the various Redhat-sponsored [1] infrastructure projects will suffer but there are so many alternatives that this will not be an issue. [1] Firefox wants to correct this to 'Hatred-sponsored'...
