Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    So Microsoft is mimicking Linux desktops and that means what to us?

    This is finally the year of the linux desktop!

    [–] dan@upvote.au 7 points 11 months ago (2 children)

    The year of the Linux desktop was probably the year Microsoft introduced WSL. It'd be a non-trivial percentage of total Linux desktop users.

    If you need to run both Windows and Linux for whatever reason, Windows with WSL is a better experience than Linux with WINE (or a Windows VM). WSL can run GUI apps now, too.

    I still stand by the stance that dual booting is better. Especially if you care about smooth performance and don't have the hardware capability to run a VM smoothly.

    [–] dan@upvote.au 1 points 11 months ago

    I use both at the same time though. For example, Visual Studio supports debugging via WSL, so I can test my code on both Windows and Linux on the same PC through the same debugger, by just selecting a different build config in the UI.

    Until you get these updates. But for sure Linux works better on a bloated corporation OS that that shady thing on free Software. Its way easier

    When the first screenshots of Windows Vista were released my friends were commenting how it looks just like my Linux.
