Why would I use Mac or Linux? The former seems hell-bent on torturing developers by breaking things constantly (making Control Center use port 5000 was a particularly nice touch lately) and drowning you in permissions dialogs, and the latter has almost no advantage to me, and plenty of disadvantages compared to WSL2. Windows is the only OS I know that has actually working High / Multiple DPI support for X11 apps (yes, seriously, try it), with zero fighting with nonsense DPI configs, and I can also run Windows apps too. Don't know why anyone would run anything else.

- anaisbetts 5y agoThat's fair but at the same time, Linux and Free Software is now in the hands of *way* more people because of WSL. If you want Free Software to grow, you need an audience and people who use it every day, and having an extremely Accessible way to do that for lots of people is only a Good Thing for Free Software
