Since Microsoft's goal with everything they've been doing in the past few months has been to gain developer trust and mindshare (WSL, a better windows terminal, all the new Github features, etc.), I don't see this as a realistic outcome. They also don't seem to plan on monetizing this, as they're currently giving away free money and said they'll only start charging transaction fees next year. This whole endeavor is to get developers on Github so companies will pay to use Github enterprise
- techntoke 7y agoWSL is terrible and gives me a bad impression of MS (and gives Linux a bad name). Their new terminal isn't out yet as far as I know.
- NicoJuicy 7y agoI found the contrary, different perspective perhaps :) - I do almost everything on Windows and WSL
- GordonS 7y agoIn what way is WSL "terrible"? I use it quite frequently, and I quite like it.
- techntoke 7y agoIt is incredibly slow (20X), distro installs can't keep up, Docker doesn't work, systemd doesn't work, drive mounting has issues, and lack of a descent terminal.
