Microsoft, quietly, has published a guide on how to download and install Linux.
No... Seriously... It is not a joke...
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linux/install
The article was published September 29, 2023 (9 days ago).
The guide provides every option available, too. Starting with using their Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), to using a Virtual Machine, and even on "Bare Metal" alongside Windows.
That's right, Microsoft now tells you how to dual-boot Linux. 🤯
Why not?
Under Nadella, MS stopped seeing Linux and free software like a threat. They are the owners of the repo where nearly all the free software is developed (GItHub), the developers of the most used free software editor for developers (VS Code), they have open sourced most of their developer libraries (.NET).
I even suspect the main reasons they don't change Windows kernel to Linux is compatibility with old applications, and marketing department issues.
