Say hi to Microsoft's own Linux: CBL-Mariner
Microsoft has its own Linux distribution and, yes, you can download, install and run it. In fact, you may want to do just that.
Ok, so it's not named MS-Linux or Lindows, but Microsoft now has its very own, honest-to-goodness general-purpose Linux distribution: Common Base Linux, (CBL)-Mariner. And, just like any Linux distro, you can download it and run it yourself. Amazing isn't it? Why the next thing you know Microsoft will let you run Windows applications on Linux! Oh, wait it has!
[...] Microsoft didn't make a big fuss about releasing CBL-Mariner. It quietly released the code on GitHub and anyone can use it. Indeed, Juan Manuel Rey, a Microsoft Senior Program Manager for Azure VMware, recently published a guide on how to build an ISO CBL-Mariner image. Before this, if you were a Linux expert, with a spot of work you could run it, but now, thanks to Rey, anyone with a bit of Linux skill can do it.
CBL-Mariner is not a Linux desktop. Like Azure Sphere, Microsoft's first specialized Linux distro, which is used for securing edge computing services, it's a server-side Linux.
This Microsoft-branded Linux is an internal Linux distribution. It's meant for Microsoft's cloud infrastructure and edge products and services. Its main job is to provide a consistent Linux platform for these devices and services. Just like Fedora is to Red Hat, it keeps Microsoft on Linux's cutting edge.
Is this the year of the Linux desktop?

Hey, you know that if you have a few bucks to spare you can go to Korea and they can make you look like a woman, right? They'll have to take an angle-grinder to your jawbone, but you'll be passable from the neck-up. You can wear turtlenecks to hide the Adams' apple, and while you're there, you can hop over to Thailand to get a discount on fixing your down-there parts. Then you can take hormones so you sound a little less like Barry White. And you'll be able to feel good during Zoom meetings, where your new face will be the envy of lesser trannies who can't pass for anything except cave-painting artists.
