Summary: Microsoft's cult tactics can be seen inside the Linux Foundation and the media which Microsoft pays; they basically help Microsoft hijack and misappropriate the "Linux" brand while Microsoft continues to actively attack GNU/Linux in a number of ways

THE previous post mentioned the latest twist or the evolution of Microsoft's attack on GNU/Linux. They'll never stop. Microsoft boosters try hard to make Microsoft look relevant (it helps Microsoft defraud its shareholders) by interjecting Microsoft brands into everything they can, even Linux.

"...we're meant to think Debian is something Windows or a Microsoft thing..."This morning we saw Microsoft's booster at ZDNet (one of many), Liam Tung, finding a way to make the Debian release a something about “Microsoft” (hence this meme). And what's it all about? Well, simply because Debian comes with a Linux version that adds some filesystems' support (it happened ages ago) we're meant to think Debian is something "Windows" or a "Microsoft" thing... and that's their objective: take some story about our competition and make it all about us, somehow.

See the screenshot below (then compare it to all this other coverage about the release of Debian 11). ⬆

This is what readers see when they open the article. What do Vista 10 and Nadella have to do with Debian???
