I don’t necessarily agree with this characterisation. This is how to install linux rather than “we recommend linux over windows”?

Yeah, title is kinda clickbaity. It doesn't mention that Microsoft recommends Linux at any point. But a post saying that Microsoft has an installation guide for Linux would get less traffic I guess.

In fact, it recommends installing Linux on top of Windows via WSL or a virtual machine. It explicitly recommends not installing Linux on bare metal because of hardware compatibility.

Especially because this exact article with a non clickbait title has gone around two-three weeks ago
