    My bet is that there’s an Xbox handheld in the work and Microsoft is working on a Windows version just for it.

        But then they would show the general public that Linux is a thing worth mentioning. I doubt that many people outside IT know about CBL Mariner.

          If they released a handheld it would absolutely be locked down, Xbox branded and only using the Xbox store

            Microsoft have quite a bit of software that runs on Linux (PowerShell, VS Code, .NET, Azure tools, Intune / Endpoint Manager, even SQL Server) so it’s understandable that they’d have documentation to explain it to their customers.

              Yep, they run it themselves even. Previously their motto was “Linux is a Cancer” now they have embraced it and developed their own distro (CBL). With how everything is going WebApp these days, I can see a day when Windows will be linux based kernel.
