"Ubuntu is now available on the Windows Store!!"
>Half the articles don't mention it's just a command line that is run within Windows, and the ones that do, still try to lure you with a clickbait title and first paragraph.
I'm not going to lie and pretend I didn't try to use it with x server but are you really surprised its just a terminal?

>>62315653
X does work but not very well
>>62315653

Cool man, like I said, I just wanted to see if I could install X and have it work. Did zero research. I'll just use my linux install.
>>62315832
ewww just stop

OP, it's like starting a poker hand with 3 queens and 2 jacks while the prize is the ultimate botnet and you're playing against Stallman and Torvalds.
>>62315827
It never work.
>>62315653
That'a a good thing. X is insecure malware trash
>>62315832
Or you could try xpra.

Its actually possible to install X on this and run GUI programs, but its not very stable yet
