        It’s backwards lol. We want windows stuff to work in Linux so we have a stable system that can do everything we need, instead they gave us Linux on top the unstable pile of shit we all hate

          I think you perchance have a very poor understanding of OSes, their history, the purpose of Windows and “Linux”, and the purpose WSL serves.

            and the purpose WSL serves.

            Keeping developers on Windows. Otherwise, MS would have invested in Wine or created their own Windows thing on Linux.

            Nah, that’s what actual Linux distributions are for. Linux runs on almost every server and powers nearly the entire internet while Windows is used to play fancy video games.

                  I was doubting the fact that the only function of windows is to run video games. Literally every business in the world runs on windows PCs

                    Because it’s traditional. Businesses adopted computing in the 80s, and Linux wasn’t around then. Macs and Windows were. It would just be too costly (in time obviously, not cash) for huge businesses to switch at this point.

                  I feel like that should be incredibly obvious, why would you want to run Windows on a web server outside of incredibly niche situations.
