Microsoft Quietly Released Its Own Linux Distro
Someone might need to check on Steve Ballmer. Microsoft has developed its own Linux distro, CBL-Mariner, and released it under the open source MIT License.
Microsoft said in the CBL-Mariner repository on GitHub that it’s “an internal Linux distribution for Microsoft’s cloud infrastructure and edge products and services” that was “designed to provide a consistent platform for these devices and services” and “enhance Microsoft’s ability to stay current on Linux updates” moving forward.
