I would have assumed Ubuntu, given that they've partnered with them a few times, "deb" is the default Linux download for Edge/Linux, Ubuntu seems to be the default distro for WSL, etc. Surprised it's RedHat based.
I remember, many years ago, seeing some trade magazin publish an "announcement" of "Microsoft GNU/Linux" as an April fools' joke.<p>After the last couple of years, this is not as big a surprise as it would have been ten years ago, but back then the idea of Microsoft creating and making publically available their own GNU/Linux distro was <i>really</i> far out. I did not think I'd ever see the day. Next stop: flying pigs!
Regardless of the reasoning behind this move, it's pleasing to see them acknowledge all of the open source software that made this possible. Amazon could learn something from this.
