In many corporate and enterprise environments it's a requirement for the desktop. At a previous job I had this limitation, though all my work was managing their few hundred Linux servers. I used VMware Workstation to keep my head in the Linux environment, and because a proper bash and vim and ssh is my minimum. Now, I would use WSL2, as it's more than up to the task, and noticeably faster.
As for the Surface, I bought my wife a Surface X for Christmas, so of course my trusty Yoga needed depot repair right as she got it. She was kind enough to let me take it for the couple of weeks it's been away, and I went through the process of upgrading it to 10 Pro, installing WSL2, etc. It works mostly well, except for Docker.
There's not a functional Docker for ARM64 unless I build it myself, which I haven't felt a strong enough desire to do. But, the tablet itself is nice, once I got used to the smaller keyboard.
- anaisbetts 7y agoIf you use WSL2 you can use the version of Docker packaged for your Linux distro instead of using the Windows Docker, you have to start dockerd yourself but then it Just Works
- m_mueller 7y agoAre there ARM64 binaries for docker? What about all the common images, they come in arm versions too?
