MS keeps doing dumb shit ┐(ﾟ～ﾟ)┌
WSL probably could have been the killing blow to the idea of Linux on the desktop, proper embrace-extend-extinguish MS strategy (I already have a bunch of shell scripts that heavily depend on Windows programs lol)

but no one actually wants Windows 11 or all the random shit they try to push on users with it ( ´ω`)
so for no reason at all other than outright idiocy by MS, Linux on the desktop is being touted like it might actually happen any day now

but really, most businesses seem to be making weird, unforced errors and it's making people realize they're too dependent on the sense and good will of single companies

i have to use w11 for work and file explorer crashes somewhat often, the weirdest thing i've seen was visual studio causing a BSOD when reaching a breakpoint but that may be a visual studio thing

"WSL probably could have been the killing blow to the idea of Linux on the desktop" Anon-san, I think you have a really bad idea of why people actually choose to use Linux.

No? Linux would basically remain an eternal 3% market share non-issue of people who wouldn't ever bother with Windows without MS actively fucking up.
Instead, Linux usage numbers are climbing.

Pretty much any technical rather than ideological reason would reasonably be able to be handled by WSL, and if not for MS continuing to fuck up, your average person, even your average technical person wouldn't have any ideological reasons to switch. People in general don't give a shit about Free Software, they just want a system that works.┐(ﾟ～ﾟ)┌

I will also not discount the extreme effectiveness Valve has had, since gaming is by far one of the biggest things holding a lot of people who would switch back from running it on their main rig, and Proton (along with the Steam Deck basically ensuring that game devs actually make sure shit works there) has been a massive boon to those people... but again, most people wouldn't care if they didn't feel like they were being pushed into a corner for no good reason. Now, they have an out and good incentive.
