Funtastic 😅

I still believe the name should be Linux Subsystem for Windows. The other way around sound like Proton

To this day, I still don't understand what takes windows updates so dam long. Not sure about Mac, but Linux takes, what, 5 minutes at most if you've gone a while.

WSL allowed my stupid Windows desktop to run Pihole. Very cool? Meh.

Not as cool as running Pihole on an old android phone. Somehow that’s much more stable.

I once tried wsl on my work machine instead of having to deal with cygwin or msys2. Unfortunately the virus scanner didn't like that a whole lot and my account was locked. Man do I love enterprise problems on top of normal problems.

WSL, the best example of how absolute freedom will be misused!

My director got knocked off in the middle of a call where we were trying to establish requirements with a specialist due to a Windows update. I would have laughed if these guys weren't worth so much.

Honestly incredible that this issue has persisted in OEM versions for decades but seems to be progressively getting worse instead of better, now affecting even LTSC copies (for people too stupid to remember to turn automatic updates off). Windows, if you take hours to update a machine twice a week then you're making important equipment inoperable during that time. Please fix that, or you will lose market share even faster than you inevitably will.

not trying to be the one person who pushes linux down everyones throats, but in all of my time using it i had to restart to update only once

what does windows updates have to do with WSL

Look at those eyes, this guy is peaking

WSL is just a weird and slow VM. Still beats C++ development with visual studio tho.

Embrace. Extend. Extinguish.

Microsoft really doesn't want Linux running on bare metal.

I'm not trying to defend windows, it has a myriad of issues, but I've never understood the meme of it updating at inconvenient times. I run windows 11 pro, I set it to only update when i tell it to and it does... Like it's never been a problem, wasn't a problem in windows 10 or 7 pro either.

I don't get it, am i windows whisperer and not know it?

Wow, that one is old.

Lately WSL has become unresponsive and unkillable every time I wake my work laptop from sleep, so now I have to shut it down every day instead. Sucks.
