Microsoft Releases Azure Linux 3.0 Preview
Microsoft Releases Azure Linux 3.0 Preview
You're viewing a single thread.
Seems to be based mostly on Fedora by reading the Readme.
I would like to know if it does use systemd and/or other redhat technologies.
In the readme they mention Qt, does anyone know what DE do they use?
I don't think it ships with a desktop environment by default; I think they're just referring to the Qt framework. If it is mentioning a desktop environment - it's probably LXQt.
I know Microsoft gave Gnome a donation of 10.000$ because they use Ubuntu (which use Gnome) and inside the repo (inside SPECS folder) I've seen gnome-commons to build gnoem stuff.
But yes, this is probably a server distro without a DE.
If you follow the links, you'll see that it's essentially a new name for/ release of CBL-Mariner. from the GitHub readme:
CBL-Mariner is an internal Linux distribution for Microsoft’s cloud infrastructure and edge products and services.
It does use systemd. It uses SELinux and dnf as well. It seems to be patterned in Fedora or CentOS Stream. There is no desktop environment.
I'd wager it uses systemd considering Lennart Poettering works for Microsoft.
I’d wager
Just look it up instead of making wild guesses: https://github.com/microsoft/azurelinux/tree/3.0-dev/SPECS/systemd
