A lot of people have no clue what bloated means. Besides that point, does anyone know if Microsoft is contributing back to Fedora in any way?

So, baseless accusations? Do you think that's helpful?

Uh? Isn't this the same as Ubuntu for Azure which has its own kernel? How is that bloated? This is intended for server use not for end users....

Honestly feels like every big company eventually tries to reinvent Linux and ends up shipping “Fedora but heavier” with extra telemetry and branding slapped on top lol.

Is this the OS that runs virtualization infrastructure, or is this an OS for customers to host services on?

[-]

The latter. Microsoft is still using their own virtualization stack (customized Hyper-V) for Azure at the moment, though they've done some experiences to use Linux as dom0 (management OS) before. Yet they've not switched virtualization infrastructure to Linux as of now.

It's a cloud spin for their infrastructure. You can look at it's technical implementation, it's a stripped down hardened version of fedora made immutable and lightweight for cloud workloads specifically containers.

This is far lighter and smaller than your typical ms product.
