    Every Microsoft idea is always bad for Linux.

    How about no? The whole proposal looks shady. Where Microsoft says “trust”, I do not.

    Oh geeze, that format drives me nuts. Is there a tldr?

    did we arrive at the second stage of embrace, extend, extinguish?

      No, Microsoft would likely sooner fully adopt the Linux kernel tbh.

      It aligns with their software/service as a service model.

      My bet is you’ll see a “windows 11” compatible user space running on Linux a la WSL ( LSW? ) in the coming decade.

      I know Linux engineers who moved to Microsoft generally for this purpose

    I dunno about this one chief; call it Microsoft paranoia.

      One of the better security modules in the kernel was developed by the NSA.

      It’s open source software and Microsoft can’t force it in, the open source model will handle this properly.

        Okay well, It wouldn’t have been the first code blob in the kernel (looking at you HDMI)
