This enabled the use of the Linux kernel to grow rapidly, as distros not only ease the installation of Linux (which early on was a complex process of source compilation, gathering the right tools, creating filesystem layouts by hand, and bootloaders, all from the Terminal on systems with limited resources), but one distro can also become the base for a whole new distro, tailored for a new use or audience. Microsoft's cloud service Azure reports Linux as its largest deployment OS and, more to the point, Google uses Linux to power most of its services. MODERN CONSOLIDATION At the height of the distro madness (around 2010), there were almost 300 Linux distros, an unsustainable number, with many just repeating basic desktop functionality already available in core root distros.
