Your comment reminds me so vividly of the time when I had time and I could invest tens of hours deep in that sort of nonsense. No thank you.

- sergiotapia 3y agoFor real dude... "my logout button doesn't work"? Crazy! I used to love tinkering with linux in college, started with Ubuntu 7.04(?) Feisty Fawn. Today I use Linux Mint 22(?) - what distro do you use that's hands off?

- sodality2 3y agoI'm in college and still prioritize stability (at least in day-to-day use). Which doesn't always work out, because yesterday my laptop wouldn't boot...

- sergiotapia 3y agoMy brother uses this as well. It didn't work out well for me but it may have just been too soon, I tried to use WSL when it came out. Must be much better and seamless now.
- okanat 3y agoThe first WSL was a Linux system call emulator using Windows NT kernel's multi identity features. While it is an impressive feat of engineering showing off NT's strengths, many of the syscalls were missing. The programs had to operate on Windows file system which likes bulk operations and try and fail kind of a pattern. So it was slow. WSL2 is fantastic. It is a lightweight Hyper V VM so programs run at native speed. You can do nested virtualization with W11. The file system is ext4 on a virtual HD file so, progams optimised for Linux don't suffer. It even comes with its own Wayland compositor running on top of a high performance GL <-> DX translation layer. It comes with systemd support so one can run regular systemd services like nix daemon.
