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.

I was curious what the Linux people think about Microsoft and any bad practices that most people should know about already?

One word:

Recall.

Microsoft just like many other big tech companies are shoehorning AI into everything. It's a new fad, and if it isn't a fad, this is how idiocracy starts IRL.
