Just found about WSL.. why would anyone use Linux when this exists? For privacy? Linux has FBI backdoors and the minute you even look up the term Linux and VPN you are flagged by Prism. This is the best of both worlds.

Linux har a highly customizable desktop experience. This is compatibility software for developers. Please explain to a non developer how i can replace the linux desktop with a WSL

i use arch btw and i think you've never used a Linux Distro before

unlike windows where bill gates holds your hand the entire time when using a distro. you get full freedom do do whatever the fuck you want,

with linux and you learn how a computer works

like linux taught me about screen buffering and how it swaps buffers to render your computer graphics

WSL is only good if you are a corporate Microsoft shill.

Ok, explain to me this. Why is also running an OS I don't want to run beneficial to running an OS I do want to run?
What is this retarded logic?

I use Linux because it meets my demands. If that upsets you then you have ulterior motives.

because windows will fuck up your filesystems running in WSL
the inverse of Win-in-Lin is the better of both worlds
>>
>>106744147
OP you're missing the point. The lintards here don't actually use linux for any specific purpose other than to tell people "I'm sooo smart I don't even run windows. I run Linux, btw". For serious users, WSL is fantastically useful, and as you put it, the best of both worlds.

If you don't even see the appeal of linux, what do you even need or use WSL for?

Command line tools are very useful and this has all the pros of linux and none of the cons.

There is Google for searching "arguments", you asshole. You came here to yapp about how windows is better and fight against your social anxiety, while trying to look mindful.

I thought you were talking about Linux not Windows. I don't know why people use Windows, but it's not my problem and if it works out for them, then good for them.

WSL is deeply flawed. I used it for 6 years before I just decided to switch to Linux.
>>
>>106744147
Use case?
It can't be used for GPU based servers unless you have multiple GPUs
For non-GPU based servers you can just run it on VM

I don't want Windows. If the only good thing about Windows is the ability to install WSL then why wouldn't I just install real Linux? I can obviously manage without Windows, I've been doing it for years. I don't have Windows anywhere.
>>
>>106745521
That's not the real reason of WSL.
WSL is about compatibility with linux/unix envoirments and mixed environments. So, let's say you have a linux server running rhel 10 or something, you can run something like fedora or rhel on your windows system as an testing environment before deploying. And as it's running on hyper-V and uses your resources well, it's the best experience things like Vmware and virtualbox suck by comparison. And another thing is to run Linux "exclusive" software on Windows.

>>106744147
I would argue there are more WSL installs than Linux installs on metal.
I find this quite remarkable given that WSL is considered a developers' tool, and how few everyday Windows users know it even exists.

why havent you killed yourself yet loser?
do something useful for your mom and fertilize her compost pile
everyone wishes you were dead, especially your mom
how embarrassing it must be for her to have to explain to her friends all the time that her son is still a fat 50 year old incel NEET loser eating all her food and taking up room stinking up her house and spends every waking minute of his incel life "owning M$/loonix"
there is no bigger no-life loser on this entire shithole of a site than you, and that's saying a lot
just end your worthless life already, the world will be a better place without you

Ngl, being able to parallel batch FFMPEG commands in a WSL window instead of having to reboot into a dual boot is insanely useful

The Linux Desktop experience is trash.
>>
>>106745566
But... You still can't run windowing applications requiring X or Wayland, correct?
>>
>>106752762
Funny because that's where i found my computer.
The computer had windows 10 and was unable to boot, giving boot loops presumable after an "update"
Now my "Desktop Trash" has a penguin running and has no problem with booting.
It even has a space alien, and a god compiler.
>>
>>106744147
Meds, stat.
>>
>>106744253
and it was a good argument. What's yours? That learning things from experience rather than books is bad?
>>
>>106745289
yes but CAN you remove it? Hypothetically. If you did want full control of your computer.
>>
it's cool that windows users are getting a taste of linux, but i'm not sure i understand why being able to use linux means people shouldn't use linux

wsl2 is just a virtual machine, you've been able to run linux in a vm on windows for a long time. you can also run windows in a vm on linux. none of this is new
