It's GNU/Linux, newfriend.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

No, it's NT/Linux. :^)

I should try that again now, I first did it a few months ago and it came out screwy

What does this do exactly? Run a Linux distro on top of Windows? How does that even work?

>>55947161
I disagree. I think that just because Linux was compiler using GNU C Compiler doesn't mean it's GNU/Linux.

>>55947166
Uh no, it's GNU userland on NT kernel so GNU/NT.

Stop trying to get anons to use windows 10 on /g/ pajeet.

I'm no linux pro or something but would it be possible to have your own DE running ontop of windows?

>>55947574
It is possible if you run an external X server like VcXsrv under windows use it as display

>>55947431
GNU/Linux doesn't refer to the kernel (that's just Linux, even rms knows that), but to the whole operating system. You'll find that GNU's contributions are way greater than just the compiler.
On another note, it would be more appropriate to call this new abomination GNU/Windows.

Wow

This is just for dicking around, if you're using Windows, you already have access to a superior suite of programs anyway.

Why do we need Linux anymore if we have GNU + Windows?

WSL is not for me yet.

It gets ass kicked by VM for my workload of heavy disk IO (compiling,etc) because that translation is not so fast.

So, legally speaking, how the fuck is Microsoft able to link their proprietary OS to the GPL'ed GNU coreutils and ship the two together as one proprietary product? Could the FSF get a sales ban on Windows for copyright infringement?

>>55946926
Half the commands in this garbage don't even work right. Just try typing "ip link" to see what I mean.

Exactly what is this ubuntu on windows shit, and how does it work I've seen people use it a lot, hell even saw a kid with mmpcc player or whatever you call it

>>55949938
They are not linking anything or shipping GPL code. They did a clean room (proprietary) implementation of Linux syscalls, GPL bash/Ubuntu is supplied by 3rd party Canonical with an external download.

It's not actually Linux at all as the Linux kernel isn't used. It's just GNU

Should be GNU/NT because Windows is not the kernel, NT is.

>>55946926
SHUT THE FUCK UP

>>55949938
Same way Canonical gets away with shipping that legal time bomb known as ZFS.

How do I get the Win 10 Anniversary Update?

I've updated my system and it doesn';t seem to have it. Do I need to be a insider?

>>55955044
Go to the update settings and wait.
After a minute or so, it should say
>install Gentoo
It'll then download the OS update and you'll have to reboot for it to finish updating.

>>55948595
C'mon, you're not even trying.

Can you be an inside with a local account rather than linking my windows to a Microsoft account?

>>55955044
you have to set your computer to developer mode (or something like that)
then reboot, and under add an applications you should find the linux sub system

If you want to run Linux, run Linux. The windows 10 "subsystem" is a half assed emulator.

Windows 10 updates are staggered, meaning major updates are not made available to all PCs at the same time after the release.

Updates are available first for those configurations which would have no issues. If still issues are found, those are resolved and then they move to other configurations. This goes on till all machines have updates installed.

tl;dr: You will get it when Microsoft thinks there will be no issues during or after install of update.

But if you want the update NOW, then you have two options:

1) Windows 10 Upgrade Assistant
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12387/windows-10-update-history
Click the blue Get the Anniversary Update now button and install the app.
This simple app will basically force Windows Update to to install anniversary update.
If this does not work. (usually have issues with machines with low disk space). Then try:

2) Windows Media Creation Tool
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10/
Yes it creates media (downloads iso and installs it on disc or usb), BUT it can also be used to do fresh install of latest Windows 10 over older version of Windows 10 while keeping your apps and files. Just download this app and select "Upgrade this pc now". It will download the original iso and install it on top of existing version of Windows (while keeping files and apps).

>>55957264
Both of those methods don't work for me. Anybody manage to get it working on Windows 10 education?

Here's an easier way to do it.
1) Create and Ubuntu bootable usb/dvd
2) Tell Windows it can go fuck itself
3) Erase disk and install Ubuntu

MinGW isn't garbage and it's amazing how they managed to squeeze in C11/C++14 support by hacking it in with the GCC source code and only relying on msvcrt.dll and kernel32.dll. That being said, it's very hard to get a working environment that isn't garbage.

Whatever password you put in it when it prompts you to create a UNIX user account. If you forgot, just rerun the installation.

MSYS2 is pretty crappy but considering its goals, it's a pretty okay piece of software although I think using pacman isn't the best of ideas.

There's not much you can do with "native" Windows and trying to provide as much POSIX compatibility that works without running into a ton of Windows specific behavior and hacks. Otherwise, you would just use Cygwin and it's just a big no considering how much cruft it has.

In any case, what is Ninja even doing when you are trying to build with it? It's working on my pet project using cmake.

>>55957461
Thanks, it's funnier the second time

>>55957590
actually the first problem i come across is cmake not being able to find cmakelists.txt even when it's in the right directory

>>55957650
Use the forked one which actively maintain. It also mention needed package for ubuntu wsl. I successully compile with it last night.

You need to upgrade to xenial and made ubuntu use bash instead of dash. Some package fail to compile in 32bit since wsl doesn't support compatibility ABI (yet) like -m32,-mx32. Compiling for 64bit should work

>>55957650

Do you even know how CMake works from the command line? If you are running a script that is trying to find cmake from a custom install, then you have to either modify or use update-alternatives to make it work. The cmake in the repository for 12.04 is like 2.7 or something.

>>55957751
it's 2.8 on 14.04 and i need at least 3.3 for this apparently

>>55957790

When you do a make install for your custom version and self-compiled the cmake binary, it lands in /usr/local/bin/. You need to either modify the script so it points to the right cmake at that location or you use update-alternatives to put an alias for your local cmake so the script works.

Also, CMake below 3.0 is pretty crap because it's missing a ton of features that make writing the CMakeLists.txt a lot easier.

>>55957586
Well... that is what is supposed to happen. IT department controls the deployment of new updates.
