- jaxn 8y agoIf you are talking about the Linux kernel, true. If you are talking about "Gnu/Linux" then not.
- r3bl 8y agoNobody's talking about the GNU part on top of Linux when discussing hardware compatibility because that part has nothing to do with hardware compatibility.
- gaius 8y agoNobody’s talking about running Linux (or any OS) just for the hell of it, but for the programs that they need that it can run. And WSL has run everything I’ve thrown at it so far.
