Windows 10 seems to have BASH installed in the background via Ubuntu. Why have I not heard of this? Is there something wrong with it besides the obvious?
It will be double bot-net, the second most normie Linux, sketchy beta support and Windows 10 now with extra bloat. It should let me run Linux apps without having to dual-boot my gaymen machine.
Win10 pro also has virtualization but only a handful of Linux OS's are suported by the more flexible second generation machine.
These new Snaps Ubuntu is working on, they look like they might be similar to portable apps for windows but in a zip file. I would expect them to get tied into this BASHed Win10 thing.
I won't have time to play with this till until Monday night.

It's still in beta phase, so they're not promoting it.
It's a non-default optional component. How the fuck did you manage to have it installed "in the background"?
Also, it sucks. The problem with Bash and Windows was that Windows didn't use Bash as its main CLI. But Bash on Windows is an entire operating system, on Windows, but without any graphic capacity. Why would I need to use that?
Nothing wrong. It's literally perfect
DOPE
