I've recently taken to calling it "GNU Plus Linux"
I use Alpine, a distro that doesn't include the GNU Coreutils, or any other GNU code. It's Linux, but it's not GNU+Linux
It does include coreutils and other GNU packages, but they aren't installed by default. This is perfect for a server install or Docker image where Busybox is just enough to accomplish most basic tasks, but if I was using it for a desktop OS then you better believe I'm installing the GNU wget and other packages so that I can follow redirects and what not.
A spawn that some devs actually like.
Ngl, except for some issues with proxy and networking, WSL is actually a nice way of using both Windows and Linux without having dual boot or using Cygwin.
Ugh yeah the networking on wsl2 has been annoying me lately.
Getting WSL2 to work with my company's VPN was such a pain that I just went back to WSL1 and resigned myself to the fact that I'll never be able to run Docker in WSL locally.
Why not just run a full Hypervisor?
Why not just run full Linux?
This right here. Using Podman natively on Linux is beautiful.
I've been using Linux for over 25 years but I hate using it as desktop. Wsl provides a nice environment for development and app running in a Linux environment without sacrificing the manifold reasons for running windows. Since wsl2 Linux gui programs even run natively without having to install an x server
manifold reasons for running windows
Please name some other than "proprietary software that only runs on Windows".
I've switched to Linux as my main driver couple of years ago and don't miss a damn thing (admittedly don't use highly specialized software and ran the FOSS alternatives on Windows even before switching). Still have Windows on my work PC and dread it every day.
"Please name a reason to use Windows other than your main reasons for using Windows." That is how it comes across.
There are many excellent reasons to use both operating systems. The space is like a Venn diagram. There is some overlap in the reasons people have for using either, and a whole bunch of others that don't overlap. At this stage we should be moving well past identity politics and putting the emphasis on designing and building applications that run on multiple operating systems. This way people can use their chosen ecosystem and reap the benefits of their existing stack in terms of productivity. We needn't judge.
There are zero excellent reasons to use windows. Being forced for lack of alternatives is a legitimate reason, but far from excellent.
I run Windows in a QEMU VM for a few things, but I'd much rather run Windows inside Linux than Linux inside Winblows.
this is the kind of quality shitpost I came here for
