    "How Azure Linux 4.0 differs from Ubuntu, Fedora, and RHEL

    The most important thing to understand about Azure Linux 4.0 is
    what it is not. It is not a general-purpose distribution like
    Ubuntu or Fedora that you install on a laptop, set up a desktop,
    and use as your daily driver. There is no graphical interface.
    There is no audio stack. There is no desktop environment.
    The base image does not even ship with a pager like less.
    It installs only what cloud and server workloads need, nothing more.

    Base image size ~300 MB
    "

    it is unlikely to need an article written about it.

    It seems to me a pager is an important part of being able to examine
    config files and log files.
