But then they would show the general public that Linux is a thing worth mentioning. I doubt that many people outside IT know about CBL Mariner.
If they released a handheld it would absolutely be locked down, Xbox branded and only using the Xbox store
i think they are already mentioning it: MS has a help webpage on how to install linux, both WSL2 on Windows machine, or how to burn iso and install linux on bare metal. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linux/install
Microsoft have quite a bit of software that runs on Linux (PowerShell, VS Code, .NET, Azure tools, Intune / Endpoint Manager, even SQL Server) so it's understandable that they'd have documentation to explain it to their customers.
Yep, they run it themselves even. Previously their motto was "Linux is a Cancer" now they have embraced it and developed their own distro (CBL). With how everything is going WebApp these days, I can see a day when Windows will be linux based kernel.
