出于某种原因，微软在开源和 Linux 方面总是受到关注。


而且，当我们谈论 Linux 开发者时，它也会成为焦点……为什么会这样？


微软似乎正在为一系列的项目招聘大量 Linux 开发人员。而且，一个知名人物也加入了这个名单。


据 [Phoronix](https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Systemd-Creator-Microsoft) 报道，systemd 和 PulseAudio 的创建者 **Lennart Poettering**，现在已在微软工作，继续专注于 systemd 的开发。


或许你不知道，Lennart 曾在红帽工作，领导 PulseAudio 项目和其他一些事情。


除了 Lennart 之外，Python 之父 **Guido Van Rossum** 等一些关键的开发人员之前就加入了微软。


（LCTT 译注：据 Phoronix 总结，还有更多的开源开发者加入了（或加入过）微软，这包括：GNOME 创建者 Miguel de Icaza 曾在 2016 年微软收购 Xamarin 时受雇，到今年早些时候离开；Nat Friedman 作为 Xamarin 的成员在微软收购后加入，后担任微软旗下的 GitHub 的 CEO；Gentoo Linux 创始人 Daniel Robbins 之前受雇于微软；Steve French 作为 Linux CIFS/SMB2/SMB3 的维护者和 Samba 团队的成员为微软工作；以及大量的上游 Linux 开发者，如 Matteo Croce、Matthew Wilcox、Tyler Hicks、Shyam Prasad N、Michael Kelley、Christian Brauner 等等也曾被微软雇佣。）


### 微软在为最佳状态做准备


毫不奇怪，微软希望提高其对基于开源的项目的关注，并尽可能有效地利用 Linux 为其业务服务。


Azure 平台对开源的利用最多，而且，不要忘了 **Windows Subsystem for Linux**（WSL）。


因此，微软一直在招聘 Linux 开发人员。如果你想试试，你会在 [微软职业](https://careers.microsoft.com/us/en/search-results?keywords=Linux) 栏目中找到很多与 Linux 有关的职位。


虽然这对微软的产品线来说是一件大事，但它一般不会影响到 Linux 桌面用户。事实上，我认为，Linux 开发者得到的资源越多，由于他们工作角色转换，他们可以帮助 Linux 生态系统更好地增强其愿景。


当然，让所有关键的 Linux 开发者都在微软拥有的项目上工作并不是一件喜闻乐见的事情，但是，事实就是如此。


### 微软正在做正确的事情


这不仅仅是经济上的回报，Linux 开发者加入微软团队的趋势意味着他们在开源和 Linux 上的一些努力是成功的。


只要微软努力改善 Linux 生态系统，我认为我们就没有什么可担心的。


我不想被提醒“<ruby> 拥抱、扩展和熄灭 <rt>  Embrace, extend, and extinguish </rt></ruby>”（3E）。毕竟，这对所有公司来说都是生意。当涉及到赚钱的决定时，没有人应该被认为是英雄。


因此，我们只能希望微软在不久的将来为 Linux 开发者和用户准备好一些好东西。

Microsoft always gets the attention for some reason when it comes to open-source and Linux.

And, it also comes to the limelight when we talk about Linux developers…why?

It seems that Microsoft is hiring a lot of Linux developers for a range of projects. And, a popular name has joined the list.

Systemd and PulseAudio creator, **Lennart Poettering**, is now working with Microsoft while continuing his focus on systemd development, as reported by [Phoronix](https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Systemd-Creator-Microsoft&ref=news.itsfoss.com).

In case you are curious, Lennart used to work for Red Hat leading the PulseAudio project and a few other things.

In addition to Lennart, some key developers like Python creator **Guido Van Rossum** have also joined Microsoft in the past.

## Microsoft Gearing Up for The Best

It is no surprise that Microsoft wants to improve its focus on open-source-based projects and utilize Linux as efficiently as possible for its businesses.

The Azure platform makes the most use of it, and not to forget the **Windows Subsystem for Linux**.

Hence, Microsoft is constantly hiring Linux developers. You will find plenty of Linux-related positions at [Microsoft Careers](https://careers.microsoft.com/us/en/search-results?keywords=Linux&ref=news.itsfoss.com) if you want to try your skills.

While this is a big deal for Microsoft’s line of offering, it should not affect Linux desktop users in general. In fact, I think, the more resources Linux developers get, as a result of their switch in job roles, they could help the Linux ecosystem better enhance their vision.

Of course, it is not ideal to have all key Linux developers work on Microsoft-owned projects. But, it is what it is.

## Microsoft is Doing Something Right

It is not just about the financial reward, but the trend of Linux developers joining the team at Microsoft means that they have been successful at some of their efforts on open-source and Linux.

As long as Microsoft makes an effort to improve the Linux ecosystem, I do not think we have much to worry about it.

I would not like to be reminded of “Embrace, extend, and extinguish”. After all, it’s all business for all the companies. No one should be considered a hero when it involves money-making decisions.

So, we can only hope that Microsoft is gearing up for something good in store for Linux developers and users in the near future.
