Sole maintainer of Linux distro AnduinOS turns out to be a Microsoft employee
After his OS exploded in popularity, the sole developer of AnduinOS, a Linux distribution designed to look like Windows, has come forward to explain who he is and who he works for.
It’s a relatively unknown distribution, but after it received attention from Neowin and DistroWatch, Anduin Xue, the sole maintainer of the project, decided to explain a bit about himself, including that he works for Microsoft. As a Software Engineer 2 at Microsoft (he doesn’t work on Windows), Anduin Xue says he’s financially stable and sees no need to commercialize AnduinOS. For those worried that the distribution may be abandoned, Anduin Xue said that he intends to continue supporting it and may even maintain it full-time if sponsorship or corporate cooperation emerges.
