Oh, but I can.
PowerShell was shit, so Microsoft added bash as as a replacement.

>>59927498
Bash isn't a replacement to PS

>>59927477
Linux wouldn't be a good OS because that's not what it's designed to be. It's a kernel.

Bash has nothing to do with Linux. Bash is just a shell for the terminal. macOS also uses Bash by default.

>>59927477
More like Windows sucked so bad this was the only way to fix it.

but they did add Linux

Cmd and Powershell could never be a pleasant cli.

That's why Microsoft added bash in Windows 10.

>Prove me wrong
You can't

>>59928473
As in, in the windows bootloader, you can now chose between NT and Linux for your kernel? Holy shit this is revolutionary

>>59928488
powershell actually seems pretty neat, but i can't be arsed to actually learn it

>>59928493
No, Windows has Linux run as a service more or less. (((Almost))) all functionality of the colonel is available - everything you'd need from it in most use cases anyway. It's not a replacement for virtual machines or bare metal installs, it's just a way to extend the usability of your Windows installation without jumping through any hoops.

There's no windows -> linux process interaction which is a shame (you can kill linux processes with taskkill but no I/O is shared), and you cannot access any Windows processes from WSL but you can access Windows' filesystem from WSL so it's easy to build tools that use files to communicate instead of pipes or whatever

>>59928538
So it's basically sandboxed cygwin. It honestly doesn't seem useful for anything but ssh if the file system isn't shared

Linux already is a desktop OS, so I don't have to prove you wrong as you've already done that yourself.

Freetards win again. Whether you like it or not, Microsoft has admitted defeat. How long do you think it'll be before Windows 10 turns into a GNU/NT distro? Topkek.

the filesystem is shared, windows is at /mnt/driveletter

so you can use your favorite linux tools to interact with your files

>>59928620
>>59928580
and it's not exactly like cygwin - cygwin does not have any kernel running at all - it's just a dll for posix compatibility that provides syscalls all those lonix tools need

It's a folder full of cats being frightened by various fruits.

>>59928637
You have a point there. Does it have a package manager or build tools?

>>59928672
since when are cucumbers fruit?

It's literally just linux running in Windows. Unlike cygwin you don't have to rebuild stuff for it to work, it works natively.

Like if I want to install firefox (I have suse) I'd just type zypper install firefox and it would Just Werk

You use gcc just like a normal distro if you want to build something

>>59928695
Cucumbers might not be fruit, but pickles (a product of cucumbers) are and there's also pics of bananas and strawberries in the folder.

>>59928672
Better start dumping that folder, passfag

>>59928752
So zypper in your case is pulling from opensuse official repos? This just seems like a bad idea

>>59928768
yes, but why would that be bad?

do you seriously think cucumbers aren't fruits but throwing them in salty vinegar magically makes them fruit?

Cucumbers are technically berries

No. It's a kernel.

>>59928620

So WSL or whatever they're calling it now is basically reverse Wine.

>>59929001
they look like snek.

>>59929047
>So WSL or whatever they're calling it now is basically reverse Wine.
no cygwin is closer to reverse wine

>>59929141
Wrong. Cygwin just provides libraries to provide Linux syscalls, but it doesn't come with an ELF loader, so you have to recompile from source. Wine on the other hand does have a NE/PE loader, so you can run binaries directly without recompiling.

>>59929204
what you post is correct I'm probably wrong above

WSL really isn't reverse wine either but you're right that cygwin is not.

>>59929233
I think the main difference would be that WSL provides a Linux kernel, while Wine doesn't provide an actual Windows kernel. But functionally both serve as a binary-level compatibility layer (and support direct access to the host filesystem), so in that regard they're similar.

>>59929258
I think that difference is big enough to say they take different approaches, but yeah in the end they ultimately both translate another system's calls to native calls

I'm not an alcoholic and I am going away, just finishing up all my (You) replies before I hit the hay and wrapping everything up.

>>59928473
The Ubuntu userland for Windows adds the Linux kernel as much as Wine adds the NT kernel to Linux

ie. it doesn't, at all

>>59927872
If the things that powershell actually does weren't so tightly integrated and clusterfucky then it wouldn't be regarded as remotely useful.
