    Wsl, sudo … Maybe step by step windows will turn into Linux. For sure it would be an unexpected way for Linux to conquer the desktop market

      Maybe one day, the Windows UI will only be one of the many Linux window managers, and the rest of Windows will just be a compatibility layer.

      And don’t forget the horrible practice of putting everything in ~/ because everyone loves cluttered home directories

      I tried the new Microsoft aishell on Windows 11 and the config is saved on ~\.aishell instead of %appdata%\\Microsoft\aishell

      WTF Microsoft you forgot that you’re on windows?? Can you follow the guidelines that you decided?

        Do what Apple did - take the BSD kernel and build the userland on top of it. NT is fucked beyond repair, let it die.

          (in the tone of “I’d like a Pepsi” “Is Coke okay?”)

          “is Wine Beer okay?”

      Hardcore Linux users would still not count it and would still wait for Linux on desktop to finally take off.

      Source: Linux has 6.73% share on desktop. Except 2.25 percent points are ChromeOS, which is not FOSS enough, so Linux only has 4.48% on desktop.

        There is no such thing as “FOSS enough” or “not enough FOSS” it’s either free/libre or it’s not

        (and ChromeOS most definitely isn’t)

        If I could replace the windows ui with gnome, I’d do it.

          Hmm, now that you mention it, you got me thinking I’d actually like the Win11 UI on Linux (without the ads and tracking, of course).
