Is the Windows store popular now? Aside from Microsoft dog fooding I didn't get the impression it was very much used even after all these years.

- rightbyte 3y agoLast time I checked the MS store it was mainly bikini wallpapers. Not kidding ...
- bikson 3y agoGood enough.
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoBikini wallpapers?! Oh my god, that's disgusting! Where?
- rightbyte 3y agoThey seem gone when I check now. I could swear, that when I installed WSL 2 years ago on my office computer, there was a ridiculous bikini wallpaper problem in the MS store. For some reason they push the store by forcing WSL installs via it ...
- bitvoid 3y agoYou can install WSL distros through the command line with: wsl --install -d <Distribution Name>
- kyriakos 3y agoNot popular but usable now they allow any kind of application and not just "modern apps". Main benefit that applications update automatically but even though I do install apps via the store I don't ever remember finding apps through it. Maybe discoverability is just bad.
