When WSL2 first came out, some losers on /g/ were cheering that it would "make Linux obsolete". Four years later, I think it's safe to say they were kinda missing the point. - eviltoast

    I feel WSL just gives enterprises an excuse not to let developers have pure Linux machines. After putting up with horrible and buggy WSL for years, managed to have my organisation bless running proper Linux on our machines. Bye Windows, hardly ever knew you.

      90% of ICT techs would have to be fired if corporate switched to Linux. Any ops tech that knows Linux is in the bunkers babying the data center’s servers, not caring for old laptops and abused browser machines.

        I’m not saying Linux is superior to Windows, that would be a opinion. But for anyone outside of gamers (Steam Deck…) or business folks, it IS the better option. The issue is Dell isn’t going to ship Ubuntu by default, for example. It’s all subsidiaries, all the way down. FOSS just cannot throw their weight around like M$.
