Yes, machine learning is the first priority as they say in the thread. However, the blog post goes on to say that window system integration is coming. This will eventually be a full graphics stack. > Anyway, this isn't really a Linux port of DirectX The entire user mode side of Direct3D is ported, in addition to the user mode parts of the Nvidia, AMD, and Intel graphics drivers.

    Chocolate and peanut butter are pretty good together. Just sayin'.

      Wait, is chocolate and peanut butter really a thing?! That sounds quite horrible to my non-US ears. Edit: yep, an online search seems to say that's an actual thing. I guess I'm part of the ten thousand today https://xkcd.com/1053/ https://xkcd.com/1053/. I will never understand the US fascination for peanut butter.

        Reese's peanut butter cups [0] are a fairly popular "candy" item here. Try one if you get a chance, they're pretty tasty. [0]: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Reeses-PB-Cups.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Reeses-PB-Cups.jpg

        As a European, sandwich with Nutella on one bread side and peanut butter on the other is awesome (except for your cholesterol).

        Chocolate and peanut butter is amazing. And yes, as a sibling notes, Reese's peanut butter cups are actually alarmingly tasty, but.... as with any $1 chocolate bar, that's shitty HFCS-saturated chocolate and shitty palm-oil-laced peanut butter, with way too much sugar in it, so if you're too good for that, well, that's a credit to your tastebuds, good on ya. So eat real chocolate with real peanut butter. Real peanut butter is nothing but peanuts and salt (it keeps well, but fresh-ground is better). Real chocolate, I trust you can figure out. Milk and dark are both good in this application. Although, of course, peanuts are not true nuts (no more than macadamia or almond or walnut), they're nonetheless very nutty, and the effect is pretty similar to "almond bark", or hazelnuts with chocolate, or pecans and chocolate. And of course you can just eat peanuts with chocolate, an okay combination. But there's something weirdly perfect about peanut butter with chocolate, better than peanuts with chocolate. But hey, although I'm not American, I am from America's hat, and I do like peanut butter in a few other formats too.

  My guess is that MS and Apple are both slowly trying to steer their ship in the same general direction as ChromeOS: a stable, locked down OS that runs applications in dedicated sandboxes/containers/VMs. No longer does the OS need to provide the same "shell" to those applications. You don't need a library-based wrapper to the syscall layer. The paravirtualized hardware is the new syscall layer. You can wrap whatever OS interface you want around that in order to support different kinds of workloads. Games can run as close to the system as possible. Workloads destined for the cloud can run in a Linux environment. Instead of being intermediated by clunky VM kit from third-party vendors, they'll provide a lot of it themselves to optimize performance and ensure adequate security between environments in a user-friendly manner. By making the virtualized hardware the "glue", they can avoid the GPL/copyleft infection of their commercial OS, while supporting different kinds of developer experiences.

    This. Now how to mine the rocky road there with as much as open source as possible.
