So far, this has been fantastic. Our team has been seriously considering converting from Windows to Linux for embedded development. (we run Linux VM when needed) Up and running and cross compiling for ARM without issue. Really surprised how it has just worked so far. This came at a great time for us.
- Analemma_ 10y agoHeh, if you were just about to switch to Linux, then it sounds like it came at a great time for Microsoft too ;)
- frik 10y agoSo far it's been very bad for us. The always-on telemetry in Win10 draws a big question mark if we can depend on Windows in future. While Windows 7 is great and around until at least 2020, an expensive move to Linux, FreeBSD or Android seems like the better option.
- JdeBP 10y agoJust a suggestion: Consider PC-BSD alongside FreeBSD in your evaluations.
- stepik777 10y ago> always-on telemetry in Win10 When you install Windows 10 there are several pages of checkboxes where you can disable this telemetry. Of course we can never be sure that it is actually disabled.
- megaman821 10y agoIf you are trying to escape telemetry Linux or FreeBSD make sense, but not Android. Between the Android OS and the apps, Android collects much more data on you than Windows 10.
- breakingcups 10y agoThat doesn't seem related to the WSL at all.
