Linus Torvalds Owners sold github to micro$oft 7.5 billion dollars would be nice to see them invest some of the biillons into Linux. Linus Torvalds worth appox $150 million with 10 million annual salary. micro$oft and google (the Linux kernel is an extremely important part of Android devices) both now sit on the Linux board and Arch linux will be in a part of the windows install. Look like they are closing in on Linux.. and all this money for something that is Free

I wonder how much Debian and Arch are worth.

Linus Torvalds sold github
What?! Linus had no part of github, Linus is the developer of git application, Github is just a web service around the application, the only connection between Linus and Github is that Linus is a user of Github (and not a very happy one)`https://www.wired.com/2012/05/torvalds-github/

Sorry that was a mistake by me. Linus Torvalds setup part of github for linux developers to up load and share Linux software and ideas. Not owned by him..

Microsoft already invest significant amounts of money into Linux, that's why they are listed as a Platinum member of the Linux Foundation, and they have been investing for several years now.

The Arch system in the App Store is in violation of the Arch copyright and will likely be removed soon.

EDIT: that discussion has been TGN'd and so can only be viewed by Arch forum members.

Arch Linux on Windows allows one to use Arch Linux Terminal and run Arch Linux command line utilities including bash, ssh, git, pacman and many more. Note that Windows 10 S does not support running this app. (This is not an official application of Microsoft or Arch Linux.)

You have thought microsoft would have remove the app straight away.. According to he's or her github page Scott Xu Kunming Yunnan, China

I apologise for the incorrect information with this post.
