I have marked your words “incorrect”
buddy there’s a better chance of trump transitioning than this
I’m have whatever he’s having
Maybe I could see that for Windows server. As more of that market moves to azure, the os matters less.
I’ve heard rumors that the dom0 equivalent in their azure virtualization platform is now Linux based. They still use an in house hypervisor, but may have moved to Linux as the management stack.
It’s a long shot, but if Microsoft were moving anything at all, it would be the server product given it actually struggles in market share.
On the desktop, they just don’t have much reason. They barely evolve the NT kernel so it doesn’t cost them a huge amount. The Linux approach to drivers would completely mess up their driver ecosystem. With the world of modern standby, windows pretty much gave up on long term suspend and instead hibernates, Linux refuses to even try to hibernate with secure boot. The features a Linux kernel brings to the table just do not matter to the windows desktop market. It would be a giant migration expense for no benefit compared to their current strategy of just hosting a Linux kernel as a virtualization guest.
I mean I would love to use a Linux oriented desktop management instead of Windows shell, but it’s abundantly clear that would be non negotiable for Microsoft, so I’d end up still stuck with my least favorite part of the windows experience even if the kernel were Linux
There will not be a desktop anymore before linux becomes the only mainstream OS.
Witness: android.
Lpt: guess as many crazy things about the future as possible and some will turn out true, then you can be a prophet
Some hardcore delulu
If Windows becomes a Linux distro that might save their share in normal desktop usage.
So I don’t see it happening.
They don’t care about their users.
That’s some strong copium
No it isn’t. It’s actually an old theory. Back when Microsoft started their “MS Loves Linux” propaganda, this was the rumour. With all the stuff coming out with .Net, PowerShell, and other tools quickly supporting Linux, that seemed like what was happening.
Actually, that did kindof happen, which is what Azure Linux is, but without the extensive compatibility layer.
Remember, kids: All guesses, zero coherence = bs
I’m sorry to say.
This is bold but actually in a way I think it has a possibility of happening cause Microsoft will figure they can make money from it
Did anyone else read this in a squeaky voice?
When I killed your brother I talked just like this!
Shut up about the “year of the linux desktop”.
It has been the so called year of the linux desktop ever since linux was a thing.
Dumbest take of 2025, I’m calling it early.
Not “he’s just autistic” or “it was a Bellamy salute?”
I knew Lemmy was Linux centric, but I didn’t realize just how much lmao
All instances I’ve seen of “he’s just autistic” on Lemmy were sarcastic and were making fun people actually arguing that was a valid excuse on other platforms.
Honestly, I should see if I can get something going; Musk is far from being the only autistic and his hoard of defenders would just be making us all look bad if anyone fucking believed them.
Of course, Lemmy rocks in that way. But it didn’t say “dumbest take on Lemmy” just dumbest take.
Wrong thread?
No, they just said it’s the worst take of 2025. I can think of worse. Lol
Aight, point for you.
Probably not even the worst tech-take given all the AI-shit currently.
Worst Linux-take then.
