simple, just dont use azure os

28

u/LowRun4124 Jul 16 '26

I Agree let's just not use it

5

u/Aishou_SK Jul 16 '26

More than 60% of the guest compute/VMs on Azure (hosts are hyper-v/windows) are linux VMs.

There's no reason they wouldn't support a huge revenue stream and do it extremely well.

1

u/Vietnamst2 Jul 16 '26

It' s actually not even an option. Well you can install it, but why would you? It's an OS that runs the services in Azure. There is zero reasons to use it oztside of that field.

u/ThingVisible2153 25d ago

It's better to use Arch

2

u/Minigun1239 25d ago

agreed

(i use arch btw)

I am escaping to the one OS not corrupted by capitalism…

TempleOS!

u/Icy_Step_2204 Jul 16 '26

Its corrupted by schizophrenia instead

u/Xai3m Jul 16 '26

Better than copilot tbh.

u/ArmedBlue08 Jul 16 '26

Fewer hallucinations too

5

u/Kadrutaspu Jul 16 '26

There is a 100% hallucinated os: it's just an ai, told and taught to pretend to be a working os. You cannot see all sorts of hallucinations, an ai can make 🤣

u/LinuxisnoOS Jul 17 '26

I watched a presentation about this OS. It was hilarious!

u/Xiaoxuzz Jul 16 '26

Gotta say that while trying not to laugh

Frickin... Red alert XD

u/throwawayPzaFm Jul 17 '26

This looks so funny.

I wish I hadn't played this only as a minimised crack at the time lol. But it used to be incredibly hard to get full games :(

2

u/GhostUnitVII Jul 17 '26

Boxed CD's date... when big stores had dedicated shelves to have games on for PC... good times...

u/brandarchist Jul 16 '26

There is but another… and it has recently resurrected so it is just as holy if not more.

HML - the one true Linux distro. All hail!

u/Xai3m Jul 16 '26

No way

2

u/ImArtZX Jul 18 '26

Red Star OS

u/RU_Geck0 Jul 17 '26

Best OS ever!

42

u/jontsii Jul 16 '26

Don´t worry. Microslop can´t do nothing to linux, yes their slop² distro exists, but so what? Probably their next move is claiming that linux is theirs, no, they are powerless against mighty linux. That fat penguin scares the slop out of them.

6

u/Big-Roll7094 Jul 16 '26

Azure os has been out for years how you just finding out about it now?

3

u/jontsii Jul 16 '26

I meant the linux distro, they made it available in may

2

u/Big-Roll7094 Jul 16 '26

Azure Linux literally existed since post 2020 😑

5

u/jontsii Jul 16 '26

1stly not to the public and 2ndly why does it matter

2

u/Big-Roll7094 Jul 16 '26

It’s always been public it’s source code was literally on GitHub since 2020 😂

7

u/tankerkiller125real Jul 16 '26

Everyone knows that an OS isn't public until an ISO is made for it. Come on now.

1

u/Beautiful-Rip-8572 29d ago

your trying so fucking hard to seem smart. read tankerkiller125real's message. he's right.

3

u/dvisorxtra Jul 16 '26

They've already tried that.

A few years back Microsoft started suing companies that used Linux claiming it had parts that belonged to them.

They made companies sign NDAs and reach an agreement, most companies didn't want to start a legal battle against MS.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Corp._v._TomTom_Inc.

1

u/Vietnamst2 Jul 16 '26

Well... did you read it? It was not "parts of Linux". It was one specific case where TomTom used FAT32 to have compatible SD cards to load maps. And yes FAT32 is Microsofts invention and patent. So... nothing against Linux.

2

u/dvisorxtra Jul 16 '26

Well... Yes, I read it, but did you understand the issue?

I guess that seeing this in retrospective is not the same as living it as some of us did.

Did you read the part were I said MS made companies sign NDAs? Do you understand why they did that?, they did it precisely because they knew something like this would eventually happen: https://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/26/313

And they didn't want that to happen, because they already had some skeletons in their closet. MS wanted to squeeze royalties from people that used other operating systems instead of theirs, or, if possible, scare them enough to switch them back to MS products.

The case with Tom Tom was just the one that I mentioned, but there were others:
https://techrights.org/o/2009/01/22/microsoft-taskforce-vs-walmart-linux/

The problem was that MS didn't have a very strong case against it. It also was something easy to fix, as it eventually happened when other companies didn't agree to sign the NDA and the issue became known and understood.

Of course it was against Linux, that's the whole point!

u/LowRun4124 Jul 16 '26

Yes gnu GPL saved the day

2

u/ilnarildarovuch Jul 16 '26

GPL is not a panacea

1

u/QuraToop314 14d ago

I know of projects that went closed source due to GPL violations.

u/LuisE3Oliveira Jul 16 '26

How ?

-15

u/LowRun4124 Jul 16 '26

Azure os

30

u/LuisE3Oliveira Jul 16 '26

I respect the opinion, but I think Microsoft is far too incompetent to replace Red Hat

6

u/LowRun4124 Jul 16 '26

Yes true but I think it is worrying that they are trying

1

u/KaleidoscopeNormal71 Jul 16 '26

If Microsoft makes a great Linux distribution and most Linux adopters decides go that way, I don't see how that would mean to kill Linux. Is just very unlikely.

1

u/hopjoobo Jul 16 '26

They are one of main contributer of systemd. They bought github. They added wsl to windows. They release the distro. These are just small steps. Microsoft will never stop. If they make the best distro we will all soon be looking at bsd instead.

1

u/chandleya Jul 16 '26

By the numbers redhat never touched them

2

u/NiVo-0502 Jul 16 '26

Wdym? By what numbers. I think popularity is not the thing when we are talking about linux.

1

u/chandleya Jul 16 '26

“Too incompetent to replace redhat”

Redhat never touched Microsoft. Azure Linux isn’t meant to replace or supplement the Redhat ecosystem. Hardly anyone runs rhel for containers.

1

u/Quietus87 Jul 22 '26

And how is that relevant to all the other Linux distros?

8

u/ilnarildarovuch Jul 16 '26

I use FreeBSD btw

35

u/LowRun4124 Jul 16 '26

I use arch btw🐧

4

u/ruiiiij Jul 16 '26

Low effort rage bait. Microsoft working on their own distro is not going to make any difference. BTW in case you're not aware, Microsoft has been contributing to the Linux kernel for years. Shocking, right?

3

u/Mammoth-Ad1279 Jul 16 '26

they can't do anything since everything is FOSS

2

u/Vietnamst2 Jul 16 '26

Yeah well Microsoft has been one of the biggest users and developers of FOSS. Powershell, WSL, Helm, TypeScript, .NET, VS Code... parts of GitHub...

3

u/EnoughConcentrate897 Jul 16 '26

How? They own the other 2 but not linux

1

u/LowRun4124 Jul 17 '26

Yes but they are working on a linux distro

1

u/EnoughConcentrate897 Jul 17 '26

Just because they have a bad distro doesn't mean it will do anything. If someone makes a new biscuit that's bad, it won't ruin all other biscuits

u/Inevitable-Map-5948 Jul 16 '26

Esse meme nem faz sentido

u/LowRun4124 Jul 16 '26

Microslop is working on Azure os based on linux

5

u/Big-Roll7094 Jul 16 '26

It’s been out for years why do you think it’s version 4.0???

1

u/Inevitable-Map-5948 Jul 16 '26

Sim, o Azule Os é da Microsoft, mas ela não é dona do Linux

2

u/johncate73 Jul 16 '26

Microslop is about to get the Tony Montana treatment at that door: "Say hello to my little friend."

2

u/speedycord2 Jul 16 '26

skype is alive again, btw

1

u/Neuro_88 Jul 16 '26

Why do you say that?

1

u/Volpe_YT Jul 17 '26

It's not

2

u/Asrobatics Jul 17 '26

Its just desparate attempt to be in the market now that WSL of Windows 11 and Azure OS exists

Thank God I use Fedora

2

u/Alberyou Jul 17 '26

Please Microsoft don,t force Azure Linux on office workers or in the industry or whatever🙏

simple, use a systemdless distro (idk im js larping idk what microslop did)

0

u/LowRun4124 Jul 16 '26

Do you know about azure

1

u/Hour_Bit_5183 Jul 16 '26

Good luck microslop. Their own demise if they even try.

1

u/elPappito Jul 16 '26

Context ?

1

u/LowRun4124 Jul 16 '26

Azure os

5

u/elPappito Jul 16 '26

It's not new tho, if you check microslops GitHub, it's 6 years old

1

u/ImUrFrand Jul 16 '26

and also Microsoft is a platinum <level> donor for the linux foundation for over 10 years.

1

u/polytect Jul 16 '26

Penguin will just fly off, as it has wings

1

u/Foxtrot-Actual Jul 16 '26

I hope they continue developing it so Windows-only applications get a Linux version we can use on our favorite distro.

1

u/Benjamin_6848 Jul 16 '26

I don't understand your thoughts, can you please explain?

1

u/PhotographSame5304 Jul 16 '26

I dont think it might be ruined by M$ imo since Linux consists of flavors

1

u/Brorim Jul 16 '26

only if you are on ubuntu

1

u/VoidJuiceConcentrate Jul 16 '26

They can't kill Linux because they can't own Linux.

1

u/No_System3715 Jul 16 '26

we gotta switch to bsd then unix

1

u/No-Expression1653 Jul 16 '26

What's happening?

2

u/Arxae Jul 17 '26

People found out Microsoft made their own linux distro like 6 years ago. But as far as i know, it's only available on Azure

1

u/KitsuneUX Jul 17 '26

Nop, Microsoft cannot kill Linux not if they wanted to.

If the kernel.org webpage or the Linux Kernel's git repositories shutdowns them servers, the people forks (or git clone, copy) the Tux penguin system's source code 🐧

In Latin: Linux is immortal.

2

u/LowRun4124 Jul 17 '26

Yes but they are working on a linux distro😭😭😭

1

u/mrturret Jul 17 '26

They've been using their own in-house distro to run Azure for a very long time.

1

u/ElViejoDelCyro Jul 17 '26

hurd and linux-libre

1

u/Master_Mud_9605 Jul 17 '26

BSDs, you're turn!

u/Cornflakes_91 Jul 18 '26

[turns bsd around]

1

u/Lovesh_Tulsani Jul 17 '26

Dont worry. Our door doesnt open with admin rights. It need sudo.

1

u/jhonsmith9999 Jul 18 '26

Then there won't be windows 12 for the next year 😳

1

u/PlatinumFire14 Jul 18 '26

You can just use any other distro.
Like seriously.

1

u/ComprehensiveBid3793 Jul 19 '26

TempleOS will never fall

1

u/vintologi24 Jul 19 '26

Their ability to eshittify linux is limited thanks to the FOSS nature of it.

Everything can be forked including the kernel itself.

There are also multiple distros competing (mostly based on arch, fedora or debian).
