This is a big step toward the full merger of Windows and Linux on the desktop, which is the most logical way forward for both platforms. Kudos to Docker for taking a primary role and following Microsoft in this direction.
- mikhailt 7y agoCan you explain how this is the most logical way forward for Linux? For me, it feels it could be the opposite with Windows potentially impacting how Linux moves forward by having more devs using WSL instead of actual Linux and not actually optimizing for native Linux support. For an example, Valve's Proton vs. native linux games, if I was a game dev, I wouldn't bother porting any Windows games to Linux, just rely on Proton instead.

- jraph 7y agoI hope they will pick Linux as the kernel and Plasma as the desktop environment in this full merger, and ls as the listing directory command.
- bdcravens 7y ago> ls as the listing directory command ls works in Power Shell (though I believe it's just an alias)
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 7y ago`ls` and many other traditional unix command names are aliased to PowerShell equivalents that don't take the same arguments and often behave very very differently. In `ls`'s case, it's `Get-ChildItem`. It is my opinion that this was one of the worst decisions made by PowerShell and everyone would be better off if they'd never done that.
