Don't worry you aren't. Luckily no one will use this distro day to day
replyI'd say old fashioned Linux would come without any certification or support.
replyI didn't mean DIY / Linux from scratch.
replyand I meant where I come from a general purpose OS is for any purpose, not just to run it on a very specific stack.
SUSE - Find Certified Hardware Products https://www.suse.com/yesCertified/home
similar pages exist for RH and canonical
but then Windows also is a general purpose OS.
hm.
what if MS strategizes on their hyper-v as hypervisor, with windows as control Panel and all payload on their Azure Linux? popcorn time?
What I meant was "pure" non-commercial Linux distros like Debian or Arch.
replysnicker in slackware. get it, thanks for clarifying.
replyISV certification is coming.
replyOn-prem hardware support would be interesting, wouldn't it?
without certification of other clouds and any hardware this is not general purpose.
replytheir plan might however be a Micro-Windows, which only boots the hyper-v, which then runs that Linux. that move would leverage the Microsoft Windows hardware certification.
I fell like this could be a move to purposefully mislead and confuse "Normies" of what to expect from "general purpose Linux" means.
replyAFAIK it isn’t a declared term my left shoe is my first general purpose operating system, if i toss an esp32 in there i can probably call it linux too.
replyComputing changed fast. I'm lucky I bought my new gaming PC last year. Hopefully not my last but the overlords want us to rent forever.
