We finally get the year of Linux on the desktop, so long as your Linux is totally subservient to another kernel built and signed by a corporate behemoth.
Sounds like progress.
"XXXX really is shaping up to be the year of the linux desktop" Damn, if I have a dollar for every time I hear that phrase :-)
Joking aside, I think either MS initiative with WLS or ChromeOS with Linux container could be the solution to this abominable Linux desktop debacle.
What debacle? I’ve been using Debian as my daily driver for the past 5 years without issue. I’ve run it a dell desktop, and laptops from Lenovo, toshiba and Sony and it’s always been a solid experience. My experience doing a fresh windows install has been far less pleasant and have had graphics cards that work properly in Linux, but not windows 10.
Between this and WSL, I'm wondering how much longer can Apple retain developers on macOS. It feels like they've been neglecting that side of it for a long time now, in both software and hardware. They have a lot of accumulated goodwill from older times, but it's going to run out eventually...
Well Terminal at least.
Chromebooks can run GUI linux apps.
Yep. Using the containers to run sublime text and factorio on a chromebook.
