Could you explain what you mean in your first paragraph? In what sense does Windows ship with Linux?

OP is talking about WSL.
I've seen some technical documentation, such as readmes for source code, that assumes the user is on a Windows laptop running WSL. At this point in time if I see anything mentioning Ubuntu I just assume it's written with WSL/Azure in mind.

There are ads everywhere on Windows. And onedrive hijacks your filesystem.
Even at my fortune 20 company I see: "DNC RATINGS COMPARED TO RNC" clickbait crap. I'm amazed my company lets that garbage through. Probably because we have legacy software + some corruption with purchasing. Sharepoint... really?

No one was ever fired for hiring MS, etc.
I don’t use or plan to use Windows outside of VMs. But I think WSL made a difference to a lot of developers.

Mostly to those that never heard of Virtual Box or VMware Worstation.

It's a first party, better integrated solution. Makes a difference
