>>59864683
>>59864702
Don't you understand the peril we're in?

Microsoft is a business. They're trying to get into the business of Linux without actually buying into the Linux ecosystem. Being a developer curiosity is only the beginning. They want to be able to run Linux applications on Windows seamlessly. That's the embrace part. Then, once they're a significant portion of the enterprise Linux market, then they'll flex their muscles and Extend WSL in ways that are incompatible with GNU/Linux. Then comes Extinguish.

And before you call bullshit, they've already done this once. Look up Interix.

WSL is a problem no matter what operating system you run. They don't have to convince us to run it at all, we're not even on their radar, they just have to convince suits with money who actually make the decisions.

>>59864793
Honestly because they probably recognize the NT shell is so impossibly fucked because of two decades of legacy bullshit being left in that the only logical way forward is to absorb bash and re-implement it to deal with Windows hooks and handles.

Plus it's pretty convenient to have bash laying around without having to spin up a VM all the time

>>59864747
>Nothing of value will be lost however as Linux has been getting worse and worse over the last 5 or so years.
There is nothing unique about any of the alternatives to Linux that prevents Microsoft from repeating the same playbook with them.

If anything, the BSD's make such a task trivial, since there is no copyleft preventing them from just copy-pasting the original code.

>>59864806
>Extend WSL in ways that are incompatible with GNU/Linux. Then comes Extinguish.

so become incompatible with the the majority of servers and routers and other devices that run Linux?

see the problem is that EEE only works in a position of extreme monopoly, Microsoft only has a monopoly in desktop operating systems.

>>59864824
>Honestly because they probably recognize the NT shell is so impossibly fucked because of two decades of legacy bullshit being left in that the only logical way forward is to absorb bash and re-implement it to deal with Windows hooks and handles.
The NT team has known cmd.exe has been shit for at least a decade. Powershell came out in 2006. Where the fuck have you been?

>>59864910
>so become incompatible with the the majority of servers and routers and other devices that run Linux?
No, Extend as in Extend - add new features that are specific to WSL that you can't reasonably implement on Linux itself.

>>59864910
Then make it so their desktop OS (always phoning home now, remember) throws up false errors (like with, I believe, DR-DOS), oh, but you can use Windows Linux Serve that's totally compatible and wont have these errors.

>>59864824

You mean the Win32 subsystem right? NT kernel has fuck all to do with legacy crap, that's all Win32.

As a Windows dev, you seldom touch NT syscalls directly, you interface through the subsystems.

NT was designed to be portable first and foremost with the ability to add subsystems such as Win32, UNIX, OS/2, and now WSL.

>>59864933

>No, Extend as in Extend - add new features that are specific to WSL that you can't reasonably implement on Linux itself.

It worked before. What makes you think it wont work now?

>>59864910
>see the problem is that EEE only works in a position of extreme monopoly, Microsoft only has a monopoly in desktop operating systems.
This. The only reason why Microsoft implemented this is because they're losing hard in any other area and in fact the desktop is barely profitable compared to the areas where linux dominates, if it weren't like this they'd be still trying to force everyone to use powershell or something made by them. Apple has a niche market but it's a market that point to the people who is actually willing to spend money constantly, so they actually get constant profit from their business. Microsoft should try to find their proper market instead of thinking that they're safe if they try to lock everyone into using their desktop operative system, considering that the mobile devices is what is growing now they're not even safe in their desktop monopoly.

It's a huge improvement in scripting utility over cmd, but it's still a fucking trashcan of a shell

>>59864959
Subsystem, shell, whatever.
There is no good command line system for Windows, and the ones that exist are so impossibly broken I can see windows basically just stealing bash for their own

>>59865009
Because this was implemented for the reason that a huge number of developers (except for game developers) use linux and they're trying to lure them back to windows. If they make that right now and their implementation becomes incompatible with linux is the same as not implementing anything in the first place, those developers that are already comfy on linux will just come back, they can only pull this when they're strongly dominating that specific market for the intended audience.

>>59865073
That's the 'extend' part, you big silly. They're used to Linux, fine, so now there's Linux on Windows, then they 'extend' the environment to one that simply cannot be re-created on Linux, and there you have them.

>>59865009

Because 20 years ago they extinguished OTHER PROPRIETARY SOFTWARE vendors.

How are they going to extinguish an OSS project? Especially one as large as Linux?

So what if Microsoft introduces some feature to WSL that isn't on Linux, either it will be re implemented on Linux or, more likely, it won't be used at all because Linux is the OS du jour beyond desktops, and Windows (and WSL by extension) is not.

Again, your entire prediction depends entirely on the assumption that Microsoft is in a monopoly position just as they were in the 90s to be able to pull this off, beyond desktops Microsoft is very competitive, but not even close to monopoly status.

>>59864571
nothing it will only ensure their decades long dominance on desktop platform

>>59865070

>There is no good command line system for Windows

Even the Windows team agrees with you there, they're working to fix the commandline environment in Windows 10. Idk if they'll be successful.

>the ones that exist are so impossibly broken I can see windows basically just stealing bash for their own

They already tried just porting bash and UNIX commands over, it didn't work very well. Windows is object-based; files, devices, etc are objects with properties that can be manipulated. Its very different from *NIX where everything is a file and is manipulated through string manipulation.

Its not for lack of trying either, the guy who invented Powershell (and is now in charge of Windows Server) is a huge UNIX nerd who is pushing hard for Windows to be entirely admin-able from command-line.

>>59864571
I've tried it and is amazing, good fucking ridance to my linux partition.

>>59865366
It's not so amazing if you have a cheap VPS specifically for Linux. You can even access them from anywhere.

>>59865254
> pushing hard for Windows to be entirely admin-able from command-line
From what I've seen dealing with 2012 R2 and 2016, Hyper-V and SCVMM, they're doing a pretty fucking solid job of it.

It's just a shame powershell is such a disgusting mess that reminds me of C# jammed together with Perl and pipelines

>>59864571
All Linux did was re-implement Unix syscalls from scratch

>>59865398
Why is it a disgusting mess? I've used it a little, and although it's annoying to type out long commands interactively, I imagine it works much better in a script. I also really like the conceit of passing objects with structure along pipes as opposed to unstructured text necessitating dumb UNIX hacks like "delineate my output with null terminators.....if you remember to XD XD XD"

>>59864571
yeah, I'll wait till you can mount network shares, without that its useless

>>59865070

>it's still a fucking trashcan of a shell

In what way, I use powershell almost daily for all scripting tasks and find it a joy to work with. It interfaces with Windows and Windows products and even other products in such a way that make it easy to get shit done.

Also, Objects > Text

Bash is a clusterfuck compared to Powershell

>>59864721
No, it's what cucked source was designed to do.

>>59864738
It's more that OP is upset that Microsoft has found a way to do exactly what the GPL was created to stop them from doing.

>>59865438
>>59865533
Because it's rife with shit like

[System.Management.ManagementDateTimeconverter]::ToDateTime($Bootup)   
Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry('LDAP://CN=Sites,' + $objRootDSE.configurationNamingContext) 
$objSearcher = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher 

It's incredibly, incredibly powerful and is great in that sense, but as a language into itself it's horrible

>>59864747
This exactly, it is what MS has been doing for decades now. They just got dumb while Balmer was in charge. Now they just have a good undercover leader who managed to cuck Linux. Same plan and strategy though. In ten years Windows will be the better Linux.

>>59865254

>they're working to fix the commandline environment in Windows 10. Idk if they'll be successful.

They're doing a great a job. With the inclusion of package management features in powershell, and the ability to download modules via the gallery, they allow you extend your shell well beyond it's stock functionalities.

>Windows to be entirely admin-able from command-line.

And they're doing just that. And now with the inclusion of DSC resources they're making treating your fleet of servers as cattle easier than ever, and ensuring that what get's configured, stays configured, and changes are made in a central repository and pushed/pulled to the rest of the machines a-la-grouppolicy. And it's cross platform, so you don't need active directory to do this.

/g/ shits on MS a lot, a many times they do deserve it. But powershell is not one of those things.

>>59864806

Microsoft returning a favour would be nice, but they're a business and any return of favour results in them challenging their own monopoly which they obviously do not want.
They're a business, they want money.

>>59865640
Well iirc they contribute to the kernel sometimes

More importantly they've been pushing linux a lot lately - at least dev wise. ASP Core is now 100% possible on linux. meaning any site willing to transfer over and new sites can be run on Linux servers including windows servers with this subsystem.

Also C# in general has better and more official support with this new .Net core thing they're doing which was described to me as more portable C# in that official core libraries are portable using the same DLLs. So like Mono had their own implementations of .net libraries, where as there is one implementation and it works on linux\windows\mac\...

Not him, but as a middle ground it has to be admitted that Linux is not a particularly good desktop OS. That's not to say that Windows or OSX is, but they don't have to be, they don't sell based on the quality of their operating system.

It was getting there about 5-10 years ago, but then all the developers went full retarded and started fucking with things for the sake of fucking with things rather than fixing the basic things.

You're hilariously wrong.

Microsoft actually has the lion's share of the server market, too. The only reason this became a misconception was because morons like you didn't realize that those "surveys" were only measuring publicly-accessible servers, such as public-facing websites.

Linux has the vast majority of website hosting servers.

Linux server counts pale in comparison to servers both hard- and virtualized running applications like Active Directory, Exchange, SQL Server, and a myriad of applications that require a Windows Server for installation, such as all of the popular RMM and PSA tools.

The bank I work at is entirely windows servers, except the financial core which is a rack of IBM AIX boxes.

The data center they live in with the equipment of many other companies as well, is all dell and cisco ucs servers, full of windows Vm's, spanning out in all directions as far as the sys can see. Every once in a while you see a few oracle boxes. I too seriously doubt the 'muh servers' linux meme, the data center scene would look very different if it were true.

>>59864571
Jesus, this is literally nothing. Cygwin did pretty much the same thing almost two decades ago. I used it when I had to use a Windows machine, and many people did the same.

It's perfectly legal, dude. The GPL allows it.

Free software is inherently made to be embraced. If I can take GNU code and use it for my proprietary program as long as I follow the license I am totally fine. Microsoft can do the same

>>59864571
I don't even understand how this works and I know you're a cuck.

So you never heard about patents. It's ok to be dumb here.

>GNU/Linux programs are running natively on Windows.
It's made to run android and the compatibility is shit.

>So you never heard about patents.
Patents are open documents, and they haven't stopped LAME.

>It's ok to be dumb here.
No, it isn't. Fuck off.

Anybody wanna make a purely Linux version of the stuff in OP's pic from scratch?

Imagine if Windows was capable of running Plan9, Open/FreeBSD, Macinotsh, Linux, and DOS/Win32/Metro applications.

We already have DosBox, and DosBox can run most DOS applications, including Windows 3.1. We just need a way to transparently run legacy Windows applications on Windows... Oh wait! Compatibility mode!

So, we really just need BSD and Macintosh binaries running on Windows. What more could we desire? We already have x86 binaries running on ARM.

godamnit this meme train never ends

>>59864571
i'll stick with lindows

>>59878496
We already have Windows binaries running on OSX via Parallels.

>>59878449
what? it's all available on liniks

>>59878804
Hoh? Which packages are they, specifically?

>>59874750
Fixed in Creators Update. They've actually fixed a ton of problems with the initial release in Creators Update, actually.

What's wrong with PuTTY?

>Matthew 5:38-40
>38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ 39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. 40 And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well.

>2 Corinthians 4:16-18
>16 Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. 17 For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, 18 while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Do you work for Microsoft?
First off, Linux isn't an OS. Ubuntu is, and it's an incredibly good desktop OS.

>>59878844
vim, cowsay, mc, htop, all running in tmux
mc is midnight commander, but the package is just mc

> Parallels
We also can run Mac Programs through a virtualization software.
