Wine would like a word
Aka "Windows subsystem for Linux"
Uno reverse be like
Glad to know I'm not the only one peeved by the fact the name is unequivocally wrong
Its a dumb name, but its far from being unequivocally wrong. It's a windows subsystem, which is used for linux.
Windows submissive for Linux
I was just thinking this. If you're dev, being on pure Linux makes a ton of sense. But if you're a gamer, Windows is still your best option.
As someone who just last week cut windows out it does feel like this can be true. I am annoyed that xorg doeskin handle multiple monitors with varied refresh rates, so you use wayland instead, but wayland doesn't play nice with remote access programs, and then you find out that nothing will allow you to use gsync/freesync unless all of your monitors can use it. Also as someone who uses Autocad daily I have to figure out a gpu passthrough VM at some point.
So i am losing the some of my "ideal" setup in my move to linux, but im still happy to lose a smidgen of things I want for the far greater advantage of not worrying about windows updates reinstalling bloatware, or harvesting data that goes above and beyond what anyone else has been doing up to this point. I'm kind of unwilling to have my OS monitoring me, and i can read the witting on the wall, it will only get worse.
