Embrace.

Extend.

Extinguish.

SNFi,

Good luck with that… xD

Microsoft has a lot of luck with that.

SNFi,

But with closed source, GitHub (still closed) for example it’s still alive, and we can still use GitLab, Gitea…, he has no power on Open Source. 😁

Something I’ve often wondered: Comparing the size of the group that uses self-hosted and F/OSS stuff like Gitea to the size of the group that uses Github, et al. I wonder how we stack up as a measure of success.

SNFi,

I would say that it is still used by many projects, it keeps offering features and improving it, not going worse, right? But if they even do something bad to Linux, we can just fork as we do with any other open source project, and we improve it.

Recommends Installing Linux

*through Windows

I don’t necessarily agree with this characterisation. This is how to install linux rather than “we recommend linux over windows”?

Koen967,

Yeah, title is kinda clickbaity. It doesn’t mention that Microsoft recommends Linux at any point. But a post saying that Microsoft has an installation guide for Linux would get less traffic I guess.

joyjoy,

In fact, it recommends installing Linux on top of Windows via WSL or a virtual machine. It explicitly recommends not installing Linux on bare metal because of hardware compatibility.

Anarki_,

Also because that makes it harder for them to spy :/

30p87,

Especially because this exact article with a non clickbait title has gone around two-three weeks ago

I would think this wouldn’t be a good idea, but neat to have a major player explaining it for us I guess.

Phanatik,

The most comprehensive Installation Guide is the one on ArchWiki bar none. I used the ArchWiki well before I started using Arch Linux, it's just that good.
