And how exactly are Microsoft going to force you - particularly you, personally - to stop running your own Linux kernel?
This is the same kind of ridiculous fear as any other -ism, as if lots of black people around will turn you black, or lots of gay people around will turn you gay, or lots of Muslims around will turn you Muslim.
- GekkePrutser 6y agoBy adding so many features to the WSL experience that (at least for their intended use case) using native Linux is such as strap ball that it falls into disuse
- pjmlp 6y agoDestkop Linux has had 30 years to provide such experience. Apparently the large majority is fine with POSIX CLI, tiling window managers and some Electron apps thrown in.
- jodrellblank 6y agoMicrosoft making a good WSL will not change the Linux you have right now. Fearing that the Linux you have right now will "fall into disuse" means fearing that you will stop using it and you can choose to continue using it no matter what Microsoft does. A less charitable read of your position is that Microsoft will tempt other people away and they will no longer give you cost-free updates. Of course you don't mean that.
