When WSL2 first came out, some losers on /g/ were cheering that it would "make Linux obsolete". Four years later, I think it's safe to say they were kinda missing the point. (vlemmy.net)

Linux is Linux.

WSL is Bill Gates' wet fart of an OS running Linux.

Definitely not the same thing.

Is it not? It's basically a Linux container running on Windows, isn't it?

But it is Ubuntu, it essentially negates any benefit from being Linux.

But seriously, you still have to sift through all the worst of Windows to make it to Linux. When you could be, you know, just using Linux and avoid the dead weight.

You can install distros other than Ubuntu though. But what's wrong with Ubuntu anyway?

I'm using it on a daily basis, and I haven't really encountered any real issues, so for me it's fine.

For most people nothing. But at a technical and ethical level, for those who care about that sort of stuff, they've been appalling for a while.

Doesn’t need to be Ubuntu, even though it is the default.
