It used to be, the battlefield was the applications.

Today, the battlefield is the operating system.

Microsoft has hired Poettering. Why ?

When Microsoft did WSL2 and WSLg, the graphics stack (pretty complicaated
and includes Terminal Services), that went from stuttering to smoother
in only a week or so. The tuneup interval; was extremely fast.
it hints that there is a crack team (not the usual
level of doofus) working on their Linux efforts.

When Microsoft "donates" a fully function NTFS driver to kernel.org,
what is Linus going to do ?

I fired up a Ubuntu 24.04.1 USB stick the other day, was attempting
to use file sharing, when all of a sudden, a dialog appears on the
screen "informing me of the windows permissions on the share". I
was gob-struck. Since when does Linux do stuff like that ? That
crosses the line, and tells me that Canonical is now Microsofts Bitch.
Right after that, I booted my Linux Mint USB stick, and no such dialog
appeared and I was able to access the storage in question, with no
dialogs of that sort appearing. So at least Linux Mint has not fallen for
this trite approach.

By doing that, Ubuntu is now on my "stuck-off" list. Not to be used any more.
That (finally) crossed the line.

That is the beachhead. Embrace and Extend. The rot is now visible
for all to see. And Microsoft has the money, the deep pockets,
that others adopting Linux, did not have. Nothing will really
stand in their way, from a business perspective. They can shovel
coal underneath that, until it's well and truly burned to a crisp.

*******

Now, enjoy your editor and... go back to sleep.
