Exciting news: Microsoft has made #AlmaLinux an endorsed #Linux distro!
@phaedral can’t extinguish that which you don’t own. :D
@almalinux A #Microsoft endorsed #linux? Can't wait for the #bluescreeonofdeath in #binary.
@WldMnDave @almalinux my friend. Linux foundation itself is sponsored by Microsoft.
@release_candidate @almalinux So Microsoft paid for it. -What could go wrong?
@almalinux You make it sound as if it's a good thing...
@almalinux Some people didn't read the article...
This merely means AlmaLinux (along with contenders like RHEL, Ubuntu, Debian, and more) meet a certain set of qualifications.
Microsoft doesn't require any control over a distro for it to qualify. They want things like reliable updates, content mirroring, and testing. It helps make sure distros they recommend meet a minimum level of support for Azure clients.
This is good!
@Alrcatraz Thank you!
