I am pretty sure that WSL was implemented to avoid the gradual loss of users, most of them being developers, to Linux. There is very little reason for existing Linux users to adopt Windows due to WSL.

- kyriakos 5y agoBeen seeing a lot more developers jumping from mac to Linux and even windows lately. If something more competitive to M1 comes from amd and Intel we should expect the trend to continue. I think the tide is moving the opposite direction now than 10 years ago.
- pjmlp 5y agoThe software for those 10% desktop users has to be written by someone. The only developers jumping ship are the ones that only care about POSIX, no matter where it is available.
