From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Finally. I was always wondering why they didn't name it Azure Linux in the first place.
Because Microsoft is terrible at naming things. Just look at ~~Azure AD~~ EntraAD
Windows Intune -> Microsoft Intune -> Microsoft Endpoint Manager -> Microsoft Intune
Then have a look in all defender plans and renamings... Holy shitballs
And that absurdity of a name that was Microsoft Endpoint Manager Configuration Manager aka MEMCM. Just eew.
