Yeah, but right now it solves the problem of not being able to run code on WSL that does run fine in Linux.
What really stops me from using Linux on the Desktop is compatibility issues with my laptop(s), reliable sleep/wake and rendering issues with High DPI display.
Microsoft released an MS Teams client for Linux which astonished me. So, I am giving them the benefit of the doubt for the time being.
- wvenable 6y agoMicrosoft hasn't given up on Windows but having lost the mobile space I think they've decided to go back to their roots of developing software for many operating systems. It doesn't matter if you run Windows, Mac OS, Android, or iOS if they can sell you an Office 365 subscription. The Windows protectionism that dominated the 2000's doesn't help Microsoft sell more product anymore. It's not so much that Microsoft has changed but that the world has changed and Microsoft is changing with it.
- turbinerneiter 6y agoThe Teams client in Linux sucks, it is missing half the features and you have to pkill it after use, because simply closing it doesn't actually stop the program + it spins your fan like crazy doing God knows what in the background. Still, thanks, I guess.
- _ph_ 6y agoAgree. I am also looking for a laptop to mainly run Linux on. This quite widens the choices for me. Also, what keeps me and probably many others from running 100% Linux is the requirement of some commercial applications which are not available for Linux. So far using a Mac with a Linux VM was the best compromise for me, but now Windows becomes an appealing alternative.
