Windows has WSL (2 by now). ChromeOS supports desktop linux apps. Samsung has linux on DeX.
I wouldn't be surprised if in the not too far future also macOS or iOS ship with some version of homebrew or macports included out of the box.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 7y agoWhat's your point? Running Linux optionally in a VM isn't what people mean when they talk about Desktop Linux. Neither is homebrew (which is Linux how, exactly?). ChromeOS is on Chromebooks, which are explicitly not desktops because their whole design is as a web kiosk.
- diffeomorphism 7y agoMy point is running desktop linux apps. My point is that it is NOT "optionally" but officially and encouraged. Also your notion of chromebooks is about a decade out of date.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 7y agoOh I see, we've shifted the goalposts from Linux on the Desktop to Linux Apps on a proprietary OS on the Desktop.
