Say hi to Microsoft's own Linux: CBL-Mariner
So, if you want a secure, stable Linux for your edge computing or container needs, I suggest -- in all seriousness -- you give CBL-Mariner a try. While I continue to have my doubts about Windows as a serious operating system, Microsoft did a fine job of creating a solid Linux. Who would have guessed!
Granted is a server side Linux and not a true desktop.
