microsoft: ill just put linux in the windows

Imagine no WSL, no nothing. The only way to use Bash/Zsh is to use either a full blown VM or switch to Linux. All coders would 100% move to Linux, except that code in C++++.

I just develop in a VM that I SSH into from windows. No need for anything beyond the initial use of a windows terminal

If windows 12 actually does require a monthly subscription, more people will probably consider Linux....

What's the pun?

I switched to Linux over a decade ago, love it. I'm currently running MXLinux. I may eventually try something that isn't Debian based.

Obligatory Nixos Comment

But only if you're willing to invest Time and Effort into learning it.

But if you do, you'll absolutely love it.

I liked it at first, but then I ran into some really weird shit. Re-installing didn't erase the previous install, programs I installed disappeared after reboot, etc. This might be caused by the jankiness of UEFI, I don't know. I'm never buying another HP laptop after they pulled this shit with UEFI. It's given me so many headaches.
