Modern windows is Linux with a gui that can run windows apps, which is to say it’s actually pretty great imo

What? No! There are nu GNU libs, no Linux kernel but DOS! They use NTFS and do you know by what cruel abonimation of a process they load shared libraries?? Have you ever tried to compile anything besides java in that monstrosity or even properly install a compiler without loosing the complete grasp on reality?

Ok replying to my super old thread now because I hadn’t been checking my inbox. I thought it would be clear that I’m referring to WSL, not the actual windows kernel. It’s tightly integrated enough that you effectively have the windows gui with a Linux shell running the distro of your choice, which is able to access all your windows files, compile and run services for development etc. IMO it’s a MUCH nicer experience than OSX precisely because it’s actual gnu+Linux instead of the crusty bsd stuff that comes with OSX.

Anyway apologies for the confusion.

It most definitely is not, if you had said OSX I would let it slide because it’s slightly similar, but windows is exactly nothing like you said.

The NT Kernel is not the Linux kernel. You never need to edit a registry in Linux and the default filesystem is just objectively better in Linux

You never need to edit a registry in Linux… Give it time, systemd will take us there someday.
