The Windows NT kernel has better hardware support and Microsoft is showing that they can run a full Linux userland on top of it. What do they gain from shipping Linux for the desktop?
- viraptor 8y ago> showing that they can run a full Linux userland on top of it There are still missing features. There's a lot of userland working, not nearly 100%.
- Zardoz84 8y agoWSL is a slow joke compared against native GNU/Linux. Also, you missed that WSL don't support GUI apps. However the inverse, Wine, works very well and sometimes it's faster that native Windows
- aasasd 8y agoJust a passing note, if WSL can run programs with GUI libs, those programs likely can draw to a Windows-native graphical server. (I've briefly used this technique with CoLinux the userspace-Linux-for-Windows).
