> I'd further argue that Microsoft should stop developing its windows OS kernel altogether, running wsl2 on top of a boring windows kernel is never the solution. They should build Windows on top of the Linux kernel, I mean let Windows be a good Linux Window Manager.
Well Windows 11 is now already the best Linux Desktop distro with WSL2.
No need to further complicate it with the rube goldberg contraption that the Linux desktop ecosystem brings.
Windows is based on kernel + NT subsystems, such as console and Win32. There used to be a Unix subsystem too. That's why it's called like that. "Windows subsystem for X" makes sense only with historical context.
Yep. It could have been the other way of course. If it was LSW, I wonder, would people ask the same question? We'll never know, until they decide to do another renaming op.
How so? I’m considering switching to a Windows laptop for the first time in 10 years of doing development on MacOS. Mainly because I’m into machine learning/ neural network these days and everyone around me keep saying buy a laptop with CUDAs support
Ah I think I wasn't clear in my message... I was speaking about the performance of WSL on Windows 10 compared to a native Windows system. The only time I tried ReactOS in a VM I didn't feel it was slow either.
