Oracle Linux appears somewhere unexpected: The Windows Store

On the last day of January, Oracle Linux 8.5, the current version of Big Red’s RHEL-alike, quietly appeared on the Windows Store. It’s packaged to run on the Windows Subsystem for Linux and says it needs Windows 10 version 19041.0 or newer. That’s the much-delayed Windows 10 May 2020 update, also known as 20H1.
