Microsoft launches Fedora-based Azure Linux 4.0 for Azure cloud workloads

Microsoft released Azure Linux 4.0, a Fedora 43–based, open-source Linux distro tuned for cloud workloads on Azure; it is a minimal, text‑based OS with no GUI, uses the dnf5 package manager, and is available publicly in preview to run on Azure VMs and AKS, with Azure Container Linux as an immutable companion. The move signals Microsoft’s role as a Linux maintainer and aims to offer an end‑to‑end, single‑vendor OS stack with SBOMs, while non‑Azure installations aren’t supported and desktop use isn’t intended; WSL integration is planned for development workflows.

One year in Linux, Windows feels like a distant memory

A Verge writer spends a year living on Linux—two distros across several desktop environments—learning to troubleshoot, customize everything, and rely on open-source tools. He grows to love Linux’s flexibility and community support, enjoys gaming via Proton, and replaces most Windows workflows, while acknowledging some downsides (anti-cheat games and certain apps). The piece argues Linux isn’t for everyone, but for those willing to tinker, it can truly fit “everything you want and nothing you don’t.”

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour Sparks Fan Frenzy and Lawsuit Against Ticketmaster.

An 11-year-old Taylor Swift fan from Chicago was chosen to join the singer on stage during her concert at Soldier Field and was crowned with Swift's signature fedora. Isabella Avila's mother surprised her with tickets to the show, and the family put them on credit cards. Swift has been giving a young fan a fedora at each show on her tour, and Avila was the lucky recipient in Chicago. Swift's parents also helped make the moment happen, with her mom giving Avila a bracelet and her dad gifting her a guitar pick.
