Please note: As discussed in IRC a few hours ago, we're omitting all links that would otherwise aid the googlebombing. We hope our humour is based sufficiently on the underlying facts and helps rebuttal/refutation of Microsoft's misinformation and subtle hostility (disguised thinly and superficially as "love").

The Spongebob: Gets 'Linux', Realises it's Windows

Buff Spongebob: Microsoft loves Linux, Microsoft puts GNU inside Vista 10, Microsoft takes over Github, along with GNU projects, Microsoft adds Linux, rebrands it WSL2, Microsoft adds proprietary DirectX, tells media it's much better, Microsoft compels OEMs and hardware companies to optimise for WSL, not GNU/Linux

Spongebob Strong: Embrace: we come in peace, Extend: Linux sucks! Let us fix it!, Extinguish: Nobody likes it anymore, Discard the original, back to monopoly

Spongebob Diapers: Kill Linux! Taking Linux Foundation to the cleaners, LF, Microsoft-controlled LF, FSF, OSI, Mozilla, GAFAM

Summary: Microsoft's strategy against GNU/Linux is going according to plan, thanks to the Linux Foundation's staff, Canonical's leadership and various clueless blogs that fail to recognise that this 'support' from Microsoft is actually an attack in disguise
