When WSL2 first came out, some losers on /g/ were cheering that it would "make Linux obsolete". Four years later, I think it's safe to say they were kinda missing the point. (vlemmy.net)

90% of ICT techs would have to be fired if corporate switched to Linux. Any ops tech that knows Linux is in the bunkers babying the data center's servers, not caring for old laptops and abused browser machines.

I'm not saying Linux is superior to Windows, that would be a opinion. But for anyone outside of gamers (Steam Deck...) or business folks, it IS the better option. The issue is Dell isn't going to ship Ubuntu by default, for example. It's all subsidiaries, all the way down. FOSS just cannot throw their weight around like M$.

Yet MS has thrown money for decades at dethroning Linux in the server space and gotten nowhere.

From what I can tell these days Microsoft only wants to compete with services not so much software these days. The operating system to them is just a tool to sell ads and to get you places. They haven't cared about power users for the last 8 years.
