Lol, if they wanted to make it better they'd adopt some practices and tools from Linux to get common-sense developers interested instead of looking for MS drones that don't know why they do what they do.
- mkl 7y agoThey did: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/about https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/about Linux tools run on Windows 10 just fine. WSL 2 even uses an actual Linux kernel.
- loudmax 7y agoUnfortunately, they didn't make the far more compatible step of getting Windows to run on Linux.
- techntoke 7y agoWSL performance is terrible not to mention WSL 2 is still pre-release with lots of bugs and so is their updated terminal app. I don't even think WSL 2 will support Docker, and it is using a broken VM and Plan 9 to share files so you lose most of the performance benefits of Linux. It appears MS is trying to get people to try Linux on Windows and make it bad so that they get a negative first impression.
