>Arch Linux BTFO
What? How

unlike microsoft they don't do it for money you know, right? so they don't really lose anything, they just want to contribute to world, this really doesn't matter to them

the only people that would use arch linux on windows is someone who's interested in arch linux

Too bad it still do not support 32bit elf

This is only going to hurt Windows market share in the long run. People using Linux right now are doing so to get away from Windows. It's a shitty OS with built in ads and spyware. It's bloated, slow, and unstable.

Linux is far more stable and has better performance. When people use Linux through Windows it' not going to convince people to move to windows, no sir, it's going to convince people that Linux is actually on par with Windows.

Remember wubi or whatever it was called that literally did the same thing?

MS is making it really easy for people to try an alternative operating system. There is really no reason for anyone to use it within windows though, so if you like it you can just ditch windows.

Not only that, but by including a tool like this for developers Microsoft is literally admitting that Linux is a better development platform, and that Windows is so shitty it's even worth the over head of emulating a Linux environment.

I personally switched to Linux recently full time as a developer and there is no way I would go back to Windows. I've used Windows for twenty years. It's 100% shit unless you build the computer your self and get only the best reviewed hardware.

In my experience Linux really does work better than Windows and it's a much better development platform. Even Microsoft agrees with this statement or they wouldn't have added the Linux sub-system. Pretty much only idiots will try to claim Windows or the NT kernel is somehow better than Linux or any popular Linux distro. Even developers at MS use Linux for development and servers.

This is MS admitting defeat and it's only going to help Linux gain more users. MS has no where to go but down.

How the fuck did you change the WSL host?

>This is only going to hurt Windows market share in the long run.
Yeah alright mr 1366x768 badass,

People actually living in reality and not some deluded bubble actually care about having a machine that works well and makes full use of the hardware they paid for. That is why Windows will only get stronger thanks to WSL since it means people don't have to install shitty Linux on their machine even though many just use Linux in a VM anyway. It makes the entire linux OS an easy click away application rather than having to suffer the absolute fucking abomination that "Desktop Linux" is.

>>56596993

Native Linux binaries have been benchmarked and run faster under WSL then under actual Linux. How detatched from reality are you?

So is cross compiling on Windows, under Linux easy now? Cygwin is such a pain in the dick

Reminder: If you use Arch, you are cucking yourself to the developers.

What? How is that possible? Not saying you're wrong but I would like to know how they were able to make something run better through a compatibility layer

why would I run linux on windows when I can run windows on linux and not have to worry about a botnet

>>56596993
I agree but you also have to make sure your system doesn't have any parts that don't work well with Linux. If you go out of your way to build a compatible system the same way people build hackintoshes you'll have a great time.

>>56600685
It's not true.

You think scientists would hold back research by not paying the licensing fees for windows if it were true?

If Windows did ANYTHING better than Linux then it would be used in supercomputers. It's not. Scientist choose Linux because it's the best.

Windows doesn't do anything better than Windows, it just has the ability to run Windows only software.

MS is literally cucking you.

>>56601950
Windows is actually run on -1% of supercomputers

Yeah I know what you're thinking sounds impossible huh? But we're talking about Windows...

>>56601950
>muh supercomputers

Most serious supercomputers run UNIX anyway

>>56602168
UNIX is ded years ago.

>>56602168
No they run Linux

All the top ten do at least

linux is used mainly because its free (as in beer), also because it's modifiable unlike windows.
