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?

sure buddy. stop the steal amirite. i love shitting on dumb crazy people. you have a defect in your DNA, which caused your brain to be malformed. you are now trapped, unable to do much more than feed yourselves and paint a new reality for yourself. the way learning works for you, is you feel you want some fact to exist, you google for "fact exists" - and then you see a bunch of retards like yourself agreeing. that's now your source and proof, so you write about it. a new retard emerges, googles it, and uses your crazy dumb comment as his source. rinse and repeat.
what's great is it keeps your genetically inferior people forever what you are. dumb, unsuccessful, fat and poor rednecks. which is the way we like it. much like we like the bearded lady at the circus.
>mass Jewish enslavement in Egypt
see, there's your mind making shit up again to fit your feelings. you took what I said (true fact) and added the word "mass" to make it false. and now you're arguing with yourself, about a fact you yourself made up. this is because of your genetically defective brain.

You and everyone else knew what you meant. Too bad Cecil B. DeMille wasn't teaching history.

The genetically diseased redneck I replied to didn't know what I meant, because the voices in his head create lots of noise. Your comment about hollywood painting the wrong picture I completely, 100% agree with. Here's the issue: christian and gop propaganda sources say "no slaves, because they were paid laborers." It's not an either or, so that's a strawman, and you'll find many sites using that strawman. "They weren't slaves because they were paid."
They were indeed paid laborers. Who were slaves, had a master, and could not get themselves free and just leave. Instead of providing food and housing for the slaves, the Egyptian masters paid them a small salary so they could take of their own basic needs. But they weren't free to leave. If this is a concept you don't understand, you should look it up.

"A stopped clock is right twice a day". The (quite abundant) evidence suggests the pyramids were constructed by free men, though to be fair in the Torah building of the pyramids wasn't specifically mentioned either... only in subsequent writings. Also, the modern archeological consensus is that the Israelites were natives of Canaan and were never in Egypt. From the evidence it appears the "slave revolt" was actually an overthrow of an urban elite by a rural population in Canaan, which became combined in myth as both the escape from (Egyptian) slavery and the overthrow of "the Canaanites" ie. the city dwelling elite. One can easily imagine the real history might have been politically inconvenient from the perspective of the new urban elites.
