   Interesting - for me broken package manager is indicator of that server to be fixed or reprovisioned, I'd be wondered to see some DB running on such kind of server - highly likely it's missing updates as well

   That's probably closer to sysadmins magic, not average developer way of thinking when debugging.

   I wonder, will "protip" can be used by "pro" users who for sure don't have `systemd` on their uniq and so special needs setup? ;)

   interested in Windows Sandbox - couple of use cases? AFAIK, it's useful when trying things out, while I'm not doing this much - pretty stable requirements/software selection - but may be I miss some trick here.

   Used WSLTTY ~ 3 years, switched to Windows Terminal for 1.5 years or may be even 2. Tried Alacritty/WezTerm in between. Not missing anything from WSLTTY, don't have artifcats in Tmux (my daily driver just in case). Looking on WezT

   That probably is gateway for curious persons or who really wanna have Linux. Myself included, and people around me keep using WSL without any slight hint of swapping [back] to Linux Desktop. I even know in person the guy who is on WoA (Wind

    And thanks for the link provided, quite interesting. I plan to redo my canary server with zfs and mysql (primary case for me is ~ 3 times compression) as current one is not much stable highly likely due to my tries to use latest zfs with Ub

    I probably do something in unusual way, but kinda never I have updates interrupting my work - it's a nice notice and possibility to delay if needed. I do reboots on 2-3 weeks interval on average when system needs it. Not to mention thi

    I think you are right in your suspects - I mostly have 0 problems with WSL2/WSL1 and using it daily and probably spend 50% of active time inside on of that terminal session. For WSLg, I've played around for 15 minutes, tried gnome

    I don't think so. The same way of when JS dev uses docker and not giving a shit it's the whole Unix compatibile system under the hood (Linux), he just cares on getting Nginx-something from Docker Hub, effectively making Docker to

    I agree that X13s looks underpowered comparing to Apple's laptops, but from my understanding of reviews - it's working machine, not a proof of concept of WoA style gimmick

    100% of the time if you are wsl user, you have it running. On serious side, even `findstr` is enough, but goal was to show interop in action, not to choose best grep alike solution. On other serious side, I can ensure and enforce standardiz

    I really "like" or at best have mixed feeling of Linux/POSIX way of handling file in use, can be deleted/moved/edited, like EXCLUSIVE LOCK means nothing to the system.
