As Debian comes to Windows 10, should we worry Microsoft will 'embrace, extend, and extinguish' Linux?

Microsoft has recently announced that you’d be able to install and run multiple distros side-by-side on WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux, a compatibility layer). (Luis has already posted about Kali being available).

You can now download Debian through the Windows Store. In the near future, you will be able to run multiple distros on Windows.

The author of the article is concerned Microsoft is trying to eliminate the concept of running Linux natively, but for now there's no evidence of sinister intents.

The best Linux distro for privacy and security in 2018

"Security-conscious users will be pleased to know that there are also a number of Linux distributions specifically designed for privacy. They can help to keep your data safe through encryption and operating in a ‘Live’ mode where no data is written to your hard drive in use."

The article also provides other distros good for penetration testing (there are others besides Kali).

A sneak peek at Linux Mint 19.

There's some good advice in here about what is the same/different, and the programs that are compatible/ not compatible.

Not technically an article, but if someone (who isn't as computer saavy) wants a resource for where to go to learn more about Linux, this is a pretty good one. Nice-looking website and organized pretty well.
