Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. First confirm that the Linux offerings are generally available, then investigate where the default hosting behavior for JavaScript functions is defined. Done means the default changes from Windows to Linux, with the relevant behavior verified.

Description

area:nodejs-functions investigate P2

This shouldn't be considered until our Linux offerings are GA, but we should change the default hosting behavior for JS functions from Windows to Linux at some point in the future. Further exploration is needed but adding this as a tracking issue.
