  Its hilarious that Windows is just bootleg Linux with ads and tracking now.

    Soon, Windows will just be a desktop environment for #linux. Why invest money and time into building a kernel, drivers, and other operating system stuff if the linux community gives it to you for free.

    @NoLifeKing @leo @cstross others have observed that modern Windows, especially now that WSL exists, is what we got because someone wished that "everyone gets Linux on the desktop" on a monkey's paw.

      @wesgeorge @NoLifeKing @leo @cstross it's nuts though, you can run full GUI linux programs in WSL & work is very picky about what software's allowed in windows but WSL's very much "use any program in there, we don't care"

      @wesgeorge @NoLifeKing @leo @cstross WSL + bash is what you get been you rub the magic lamp and tell the genie you want a usable command line on Windows. Nobody wishes for Gnome. Android is what you get when Google wishes for linux on the phone.
      I'll show myself out...

    @NoLifeKing @leo My wote for "The year of the Linux Desktop" was chromeos, but I'm fine with that too.

  Good. #linux win here.

  Every feature they adopt, every bit MS concedes that windows should be more like linux, is something people learn, and that lowsers the barrier to switching because they are familiar with the concept.

  @leo How does this differ from runas?

  • leo@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    It doesn’t by much. But this one’s going into Windows 😬

      @leo runas went into Windows when it was Vista.

  How about instead of trying to shim Linux into Windows…just make Windows a DE on Linux and be done with it. Jesus.
