    Do people in this thread not understand that Microsoft frequently contributes to Linux? They’ve already lost the battle there. They rely on Linux for servers as much as everybody else.

    Not necessarily saying this is a good thing or not, but writing off any Linux contributions Microsoft makes would be pretty silly.

      Their contributions are welcome and appreciated.

      But, given Microsoft’s history, any suggestions from them should be treated with skepticism.

        It’s not like it’s a proprietary blob. No one is stupid enough to accept a proprietary security blob from Microsoft.

        Moreover, if you click through to the article, you see that this module entirely concerns eBPF, which is essentially unused outside of corporate servers (and Android phones) in the first place and is therefore barely our business to begin with.
