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.

They are windows or Linux base?
All linux! I think debian, though they have alpine images too.
I wouldnt wish windows containers on my worst enemy haha.
Oh I didn't think mcr.microsoft provided Linux base, ok good to know.
I've reviewed a few PRs with that in the dockerfile and thought it was always windows based, good to know!
I think there are windows containers available, but even M$ has given up pushing windows server for cloud native stuff. All their tutorial docs for containers use linux haha
