Wsl, sudo … Maybe step by step windows will turn into Linux. For sure it would be an unexpected way for Linux to conquer the desktop market

Hardcore Linux users would still not count it and would still wait for Linux on desktop to finally take off.

Source: Linux has 6.73% share on desktop. Except 2.25 percent points are ChromeOS, which is not FOSS enough, so Linux only has 4.48% on desktop.

There is no such thing as “FOSS enough” or “not enough FOSS” it’s either free/libre or it’s not

(and ChromeOS most definitely isn’t)

If I could replace the windows ui with gnome, I’d do it.

Hmm, now that you mention it, you got me thinking I’d actually like the Win11 UI on Linux (without the ads and tracking, of course).

And don’t forget the horrible practice of putting everything in ~/ because everyone loves cluttered home directories

I tried the new Microsoft aishell on Windows 11 and the config is saved on ~\.aishell instead of %appdata%\\Microsoft\aishell

WTF Microsoft you forgot that you’re on windows?? Can you follow the guidelines that you decided?

Do what Apple did - take the BSD kernel and build the userland on top of it. NT is fucked beyond repair, let it die.

They essentially would just need to develop their own Wine

Maybe one day, the Windows UI will only be one of the many Linux window managers, and the rest of Windows will just be a compatibility layer.

Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules
2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like “every user of thing”.
  • Don’t get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of “peasantry” to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can’t quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.

 

Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don’t understand or can’t verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community – even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don’t remove France.
