It’s also usually lawyers that create these names. I worked on databases for IBM Cloud and they were all called “IBM Cloud Databases for Elasticsearch” and what have you. Despite it being an offering of the database on IBM’s cloud.
Since Elasticsearch is a brand name, the “host” corporation corporation has to present it as a product “for” the brand name rather than as the brand name itself to avoid implying that they are acting AS Linux or Elasticsearch or whoever is the third party.
Learning vim motions in VSCode with the vim plugin was the best decision I made this year. Made programming even more fun and after a year of learning I actually feel that I finally reached a point where I’m a lot more productive. I set up neovim too, but I’m missing some things to fully switch from VSCode and I have to research my options (git integration and debugging are my pet peeves), which I haven’t had time for lately.
In what world would Microsoft allow the Linux name to appear before Windows? If MS were a person, they would be diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
I still believe the name should be Linux Subsystem for Windows. The other way around sound like Proton

From where do you think comes the Balmer peak?

That would require Microsoft admitting they come in second.
The one Microshaft fanboi downvoting you for speaking facts 🤣
There is always one…
Microsoft has always been terrible at naming things. And at developing things. And at literally everything.
Except VSCode for some reason. VSCode is great.
mostly because all the good stuff in vscode comes from open source community
Say that to the face of a hardcore Vim or Emacs user and enjoy the essay.

I like vim, but I’m not a power user, so trying to code with it sounds…painful. I’ve never cracked emacs, although it has piqued my curiosity.
It actually makes sense. It’s a subsystem in Windows (therefore a windows subsystem) that makes Linux work
It is a subsystem of Windows that Linux runs in. It’s not a subsystem of Linux.
Windows is the system. It’s the host operating system. It created a subsystem specifically for running a child operating system. In this case, Linux
