honestly the way they’re going i could see windows just be a desktop environment for a Linux based os in the future

Gotta make sure Linux also has ads and spyware somehow!

I wonder how much “metrics” data is sent home?

All of it.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Microsoft has published its first tagged preview of the upcoming Azure Linux 3.0 operating system.
Azure Linux – formerly what was known as CBL-Mariner as their in-house Linux distribution used for purposes from Azure to WSL to Windows IoT – is preparing for a big v3.0 update.
On Wednesday the Azure Linux 3.0.20240524-3.0 preview release was published.
No formal release notes have yet to be posted for the Azure Linux 3.0 changes in full.
Those wanting to try out the preview release of Microsoft Azure Linux 3.0 can find the pre-release on GitHub.
Azure Linux 3.0 preview releasing on the Phoronix 20th birthday is a nice present… Microsoft maintaining their own Linux distribution certainly wasn’t on my bingo card or wildest imagination twenty years ago.

We all love icecream but who’d love turd icecream?
Because I don’t get who’d want to use an MS Linux distro

They wouldn’t release it if they weren’t obligated to
- exanime ( @exanime@lemmy.today ) 1•23 days ago
It’s mandated? How come? Sorry I’m out of the loop

Depends on the given software but kernel edits for instance need to be public. That’s why Android is open source
Since this is their Cloud software I imagine they need to provide their source to customers.
It might just have been easier to push the whole of the open source side than it would be to pick and choose

Seems to be based mostly on Fedora by reading the Readme.
I would like to know if it does use systemd and/or other redhat technologies.
In the readme they mention Qt, does anyone know what DE do they use?
I don’t think it ships with a desktop environment by default; I think they’re just referring to the Qt framework. If it is mentioning a desktop environment - it’s probably LXQt.

I know Microsoft gave Gnome a donation of 10.000$ because they use Ubuntu (which use Gnome) and inside the repo (inside SPECS folder) I’ve seen gnome-commons to build gnoem stuff.
But yes, this is probably a server distro without a DE.

If you follow the links, you’ll see that it’s essentially a new name for/ release of CBL-Mariner. from the GitHub readme:
CBL-Mariner is an internal Linux distribution for Microsoft’s cloud infrastructure and edge products and services.

I’d wager it uses systemd considering Lennart Poettering works for Microsoft.
- LeFantome ( @LeFantome@programming.dev ) 2•26 days ago
It does use systemd. It uses SELinux and dnf as well. It seems to be patterned in Fedora or CentOS Stream. There is no desktop environment.

Copilot when?
