Wsl, sudo ... Maybe step by step windows will turn into Linux. For sure it would be an unexpected way for Linux to conquer the desktop market
Maybe one day, the Windows UI will only be one of the many Linux window managers, and the rest of Windows will just be a compatibility layer.
And don't forget the horrible practice of putting everything in ~/ because everyone loves cluttered home directories
I tried the new Microsoft aishell on Windows 11 and the config is saved on ~\.aishell instead of %appdata%\\Microsoft\aishell
WTF Microsoft you forgot that you're on windows?? Can you follow the guidelines that you decided?
at one point, microsoft will put all of their software into a VM and ship that on a linux platform. that will do.
Do what Apple did - take the BSD kernel and build the userland on top of it. NT is fucked beyond repair, let it die.
They essentially would just need to develop their own Wine
(in the tone of "I'd like a Pepsi" "Is Coke okay?")
"is ~~Wine~~ Beer okay?"
Hardcore Linux users would still not count it and would still wait for Linux on desktop to finally take off.
Source: Linux has 6.73% share on desktop. Except 2.25 percent points are ChromeOS, which is not FOSS enough, so Linux only has 4.48% on desktop.
There is no such thing as "FOSS enough" or "not enough FOSS" it's either free/libre or it's not
(and ChromeOS most definitely isn't)
That was kinda heavy sarcasm.
huh, was not able to get that from your comment. I usually use "/s" in cases like that
sudo /sIf I could replace the windows ui with gnome, I'd do it.
~~gnome~~ kde
ftfy
Hmm, now that you mention it, you got me thinking I'd actually like the Win11 UI on Linux (without the ads and tracking, of course).
