🐧 Slop as a Time-Wasting Nuisance to Linux Development

Microsoft hat mit Azure Linux 4.0 seine eigene Linux-Distribution veröffentlicht. „Microsoft loves Linux", schon klar.

Ich habe genauer hingeschaut und einen längeren Text dazu geschrieben — über Steve Ballmers „Krebsgeschwür"-Rhetorik, über die Jahre, in denen Microsoft an praktisch jedem Android-Telefon mitverdiente, über Embrace, Extend, Extinguish, und über die Frage, was „Souveränität" eigentlich noch bedeutet, wenn das eigene Linux in einer fremden Cloud kuratiert wird.

Kleine Offenlegung vorweg: Ich habe von 2005 bis 2011 selbst für Microsoft gearbeitet. Das hier ist also keine Abrechnung von außen, eher ein Learning von jemandem, der die Maschine von innen kannte.

Der Text nimmt die wohlwollende Lesart durchaus ernst, seht selbst, er endet trotzdem unbequem:
„Linux in der fremden Cloud, kuratiert von fremder Hand, aktualisiert aus fremder Registry … das ist keine Souveränität. Das ist ein Mietverhältnis."
