Why the slashes? It's throwing it the mobile layout in HN :)

No doubt. Add some spaces to to the title. Give those letters some air to breathe.

With this I can run Debian Sid/unstable on Windows 10 Version 1709. After editing the sources.list and upgrading all packages, apt starts to complain about missing seccomp support but this can be worked around this way: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1732030/c...

I haven't noticed any other issues with the newer packages.

The app code will be available [...] for every DD/DM.

What does that mean? DD is Debian developer, DM maybe Debian member???

I understand Debian has very strict free software guidelines. How can the app code (assuming that means source code) be only available for selected people??? That sounds like the Microsoft way of seeing the world.

(Asking just for curiosity. Haven't had a Windows machine for 10 years, so the whole thing does not affect me directly.)

No idea what DD/DM stands for, but if you'd bothered clicking the link immediately below that text, you'd see the source code right there, publicly available for anyone who cares to look, no gateway/login required.

Possibly it's being addressed to developers/members with the thought that they're more likely to care than others are?

DM is Debian Maintainer, and the code seems to be MIT licensed and available to all.

The title of this article is breaking HN formatting on mobile.
