Yeah, I don't buy the arguments here that Microsoft can extinguish Linux. Or would want to. Who's going to run Window's servers just to enable wsl? This is clearly targeted at developers coming back to windows on the PC, the aim is even stated as such to "enable IDEs" on wsl. I've ran arch, ubuntu and debian on my various systems, not because I want to but because they have the superior development environment in the terminal, outside of that Linux still feels janky and doesn't have any market share because of that.
Microsoft is making something I've wanted for a while, I can get Linux off my desktop and laptop do my development and my game playing on Windows and ssh into my servers for any heavy lifting. This sounds like it will be a great win for devs.
