What features do you want from POSIX that Windows doesn't already provide?
- JoeAltmaier 10y agoThe point of POSIX is conformity, not extra features. Though I don't see how that fixes Windows either. It can already do many things more than POSIX. In fact most OSs support POSIX for application capture, but certainly don't depend upon it entirely.
- ZenoArrow 10y agoSo in other words the main benefit of POSIX conformity (with regards to Windows) is application portability, right? Is the Linux subsystem in Windows 10 not good enough to handle this? What *nix applications do people want to be able to run in Windows that they can't already?
