Dropping alot of weight rapidly can lead to gallbladder issues. If you're on a GLP-1 please look into this and ask your GP about potentially putting you on Urusodiol.

I saw a thread on reddit where a GP chimed in and mentioned that he was giving urusodiol to all his patients at the same time as GLPs, to help prevent the associated issues.

Either way, modern science is great. Just do your research.

i'm speaking on behalf of myself. While yes, this was true back in then day, that is very much not the philosophy nowadays. it's a different company with different leadership than those days.

i should have added an lol to the end of this

we do work and collaborate in fedora upstream. the reason for having a separate distro is to serve a different audience. there are several things to balance like life/supportability cycle, hardware enablement vs. legacy work, etc.

To answer all the comments in this thread at once, and this is my personal opinion, building a distro is easy, releasing a distro and supporting customers that use it is much harder.

When I said "we" I meant the group of folks who work on and care about Linux and open source at Microsoft and in a position to help affect change that comes in via feedback from the community.

i said that tongue-in-cheek lol

It was initially based on deb in the earlier iterations of its life, but ultimately, we decided to use Fedora as a base as a good balance between stability and new feature enablement.

That decision also makes it easier for us to contribute to Fedora upstream and collab with others, for example AWS uses Fedora for the base of Amazon Linux too, so there may be ways we can work together to solve common problems. I'm not making any future/promise statements with that comment. My point is, we are happy to collab upstream, using real open-source, community pathways.

It is not published in the store yet for WSL, but you can use it in WSL using the instructions here: https://github.com/microsoft/azurelinux/issues/10997

There is no graphical environment, but you could probably pull that off with some tinkering. Well maybe not some, maybe a lot, but its not impossible. You can build/install anything just like any other distro.

Would love to hear more about your frustration and how it can be fixed. Message me at my nick @microsoft.com please.

Both are Fedora/Red Hat based.

Conspiracy theory

Neat. What can we do better?

No. It’s still very much Hyper-V running a custom build of what you can call windows underneath.

Hey! I’m part of the larger Azure Linux team. Glad to answer any questions. It is a tad late here though so drop em and I’ll get to them in the morning!

Whether or not you are into the conspiracy theories, this thing DEFINITELY exhibits some weird properties

Care to share some, friend?

Hey. Can you send me an email to my user name @msft.com and I can try and connect you with some folks to get this taken care of?

I think this is oversimplifying things a bit. There are many workloads running on Linux that also pay licensing for RHEL, SLES and Ubuntu Pro.

It really comes down to the requirements for your app as defined by the vendor and/or the internal team.

Can you elaborate on this? It's rather general.

LOL

I've forwarded this feedback to both teams. Can you email or message me so that I can loop you into the product teams?

For general compute yes, that is correct. A good chunk of the work that we do is making sure that that HostOS plays nicely with Linux guests and vice-versa.

Thanks for posting that. This post had nothing to do with Satya nor did he or anyone aside from myself and a couple other team mates see it before posting.

The Azure infrastructure, as I assume most hyperscale infrastructures are, is hybrid depending on the service. Service owners typically have a fair amount of liberty in deciding how they architect their service and what they use underneath it.

Hey everyone. We put in lots of efforts to make sure that Linux runs really well on Azure and that you have a great experience. Glad this got some traction and glad to answer any questions.

Adding back support for the older hardware is really a nice touch here.

Wouldn’t rebuilding from the RHEL sources be the easier approach?

Also Alma doesn’t mirror Stream, they pull sources from several unencumbered places including stream.

That is cross platform though…
