From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

For anyone who has been missing Microsoft’s tender, loving embrace since switching to Linux. Copilot for Linux is in development, I presume.
Probably already done... Copilot for Linux developed the defender for Linux as a test. They say it even sometimes work!
It is, but it's been branded Linux Subsystem For Copilot 365 Enterprise Service Pack 2.
Then what? Office365 for Linux?
So I actually had claude code make me a python backend that allows copilot to talk and send commands to Windows or Linux computers. Python executes the commands sent by copilot and then returns the output back to copilot via an API, and it goes back and forth like this until it finishes the task. It's like a janky Claude Code But it works on any device that has Python. It actually operates so much better when you only allow it to respond in commands it's passing too and from your computer.
