The non-Linux-using Linux rep, the Bad and the Ugly. No wonder their homepage today is misleading openwashing of Microsoft.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Summary: The identity of Linux rapidly turns into something bad and ugly which in no way resembles the original (GNU/Linux) and is actually Windows Vista 10 (in "Linux" clothing)

EARLIER today a Microsoft propagandist for over a decade (Simon Bisson) pushed/promoted Microsoft's Trojan horse against GNU/Linux, so you know you're standing to lose from WSL (WeaSeL). He attacked GNU/Linux for years (Bisson's pattern is well documented), but suddenly Microsoft loves (its own) 'Linux'. It's all about control. Microsoft also loves the Linux Foundation, which it partly controls. Additionally, earlier today in the news we found a lot of WSL nonsense, e.g. [1, 2]. You search for "Linux" in the news (syndicators such as Google News) and instead you get something that isn't GNU/Linux but Microsoft's 'bastardised' version of it -- a thing that is called "Windows something" (SL, sandbox or subsystem for 'Linux'). Nice googlebombing you got there... ⬆
