pacapt VS azurelinux

pacapt?

i use debian on some remote servers and, thankfully found this, which i immediately installed https://github.com/icy/pacapt because i have no idea how to successfully use apt. plus, i hate the formatting. so, nala is a positive, for sure!

You can do --sync --search but that isn't much better. There is this neat tool however: https://github.com/icy/pacapt I recently used it because I was in a hurry and had not time to read up on SLES and an ancient CentOS install I was forced to deal with. But I guess you had the opposite in mind.

The Arch Rosetta page spawned the lovely https://github.com/icy/pacapt , which is an automated form I use everywhere despite not actually having used Arch in years.

Oh dude, pacapt is your friend!

here ya go, buddy. -- https://github.com/icy/pacapt

You should take a look at pacapt

Like pacapt but the other way around

They're even already producing their own Linux distribution, CBL-Mariner, https://github.com/microsoft/azurelinux

This became even more interesting as Microsoft started to open source core technology such as Powershell, the DotNET platform, their internal Linux distribution, and much more. All this hosting on GitHub also made sense acquisition wise.

Quite a few servers and network switches, actually.

Likely a recognisable ‘Windows’ GUI on-top of CBL-Mariner

Nothing new. For several years they already developed and maintained CBL-Mariner (Common Build Linux) https://github.com/microsoft/CBL-Mariner Which od a base for Azure Linux and other projects.
