This article reminds me of something I’ve been meaning to do since year 2006; Go see the movie “Happy Feet”.
A movie full of singing, dancing Penquins!
The previews told me this might be a fun film to see.
I’ll see it one of these days.
Yeah, I’ll stick with running Linux apps on Linux thanks.
Kubuntu 20.04 running great on my 7 year old ThinkPad W530
It’s a bit curious why Microsoft would want this. It’s also an admission that Linux desktop apps are appealing enough to run on Windows.
Thanks for posting.
Win ping.
To me this is upside down. Why take a great OS like Linux and force it to be run underneath Windows. What would be wrong with Windows running underneath Linux?
I don’t quite understand this. Usually IF I need windows, which is rare, I just remote into the Windows VM in Proxmox. If Windows crashes then it crashes why take the whole server node with it? I’m not sure why the other way around would be necessary when 99% of linux distros just work as is.
My inner geek died about 10 years ago. So, excuse the stupid question. Is this Windows for Linux, or Linux for Windows?
Like others have said I’ll stick to running linux apps on linux but at tge same time there are likely legitimate use cases where this would be a good thing.
When I need to run Windows, which is almost never, I run Win7 in a virtual machine I built with QEMU and KVM on my Linux Mint computer. I think it’s safer that way.
WSL2 makes building and testing Docker
containers for Linux and Windows
possible on one machine. It’s a
perfect fit for my current assignments.
"RAIL copies pixels over RDP whereas VAIL uses memory shared between the host PC and the WSL2 VM. WSLg is meant to use VAIL but perhaps falls back to RAIL in some circumstances. According to the docs, both RAIL and VAIL are now implemented in FreeRDP."
Everyone here is glad that the writer knows what he is talking about, because we (mostly) sure don't!
