Microsoft published The first stable update of the new distribution branch cbl-mariner 2.0 (Common Base Linux Mariner), which is developing as a universal base platform for Linux buttons used in the cloud infrastructure, Edge- systems and various services of Microsoft. The project is aimed at unifying the Linux solutions used in Microsoft and simplifying the maintenance of Linux systems for various purposes in the current state. The projects of the project are distributed under the MIT license. Building packages are formed for architectures Aarch64 and X86_64.
The new issue is notable for the transition to the use of the Linux 5.15 nucleus and a significant update versions of programs .

CBL-Mariner distribution provides a small standard set of basic packages that acts as a universal basis for creating containers filling, hosts and services launched in cloud infrastructures and Edge devices . More complex and specialized solutions can be created by adding additional packages over CBL-Mariner, but the basis for all such systems remains unchanged, which simplifies the support and preparation of updates. For example, CBL-Mariner is used as the basis of the mini-disintections wslg , which provides the components of the graphic stack for organizing the launch of the Linux GUI applications in environment on the basis of the WSL2 subsystem (Windows Subsystem for Linux). Extended functionality in WSLG is realized through the inclusion of additional packages with the Weston, XWayland, Pulseaudio and Freerdp.

The CBL-Mariner assembly system allows you to generate both SPEC-files and starting texts, as well as monolithic system images formed using RPM-Sostree tools and updated atomarly without breaking into separate packages. Accordingly, two models of delivery of updates are supported: through updating individual packages and through the restructuring and updating of the entire systemic image. Available repository , including about 3,000 RPM packets already collected, which can be used to arrange your own images based on configuration file
