Choo Choo. That's me tooting my own horn. I called it. Microsoft is well on its way to using its classic embrace, extend, extinguish technique against Linux. It's never considered Linux a threat until now; when people are really and truly finding the Windows experience to be so terrible that it makes learning about an entirely new OS appealing. If you're a Linux contributor, do everything you can to keep all of that Microsoft garbage out.

Well, I don't think it would be an attempt to corrupt Ubuntu since Canonical already did that in the past with the Amazon shopping lens (but they did finally make it opt-in instead of opt-out by default). If anything, this move will be a great opportunity to get more people using free software, even though Microsoft is only doing this for their bottom line and not to benefit their users.

Details details details. If I smell one whiff of bullshit, one trace of the NSA, I'll be on Arch before they can say "What difference does it make".

Debian is better than Ubuntu and derivatives.

Is Arch that good? I might have to migrate from Ubuntu soon...

Arch is a build-your-own distro. You need to know a lot about how Linux works and what packages you need installed in order to make your OS function. Debian will probably be much more like what you're used to. Don't take my word for it, though. Do your research.
