Over the past decade or so, IT has been divided into two fields: Windows and everything else with the nix suffix. Do you want a PC paradigm where everything is a file? It’s Linux. Want a simple shell script that makes the command line easier? Linux. Do you want a baroque sign with random percentage symptoms and dollar symbols? It would be Windows. Do you want to run the most professional productivity programs for design and engineering? Unfortunately, it’s also Windows.
Nix runs any Internet, the world’s 500 supercomputers, and is the construction environment for all non-Windows developers. However, Windows is the most popular operating system. The gap between Windows and Nix is not so much a rivalry, as other people who still write Microsoft with a dollar signal would say. It’s simply the way non-public computing has evolved with legacy programs and IT administrators.
Today, this wonderful division in the world of computing is slowly shrinking. At the Microsoft Build Developer Conference 2016, Microsoft and Canonical, Ubuntu’s parent company, announced a partnership that will allow Ubuntu to work with local Windows libraries.
In short, this announcement means bash and the Linux command line arrives on Windows 10. The command line is excellent, but the user area is where it is, and here this association shines. Unlike Cygwin, the existing way to run nix elements in a Windows environment, Windows bash will allow unmodified Linux systems to run without settings in Windows 10.
It is not a euphemism to say that this is the maximum life progression of operating systems in the last 10 years. Over the past decade, each and every developer who is not purely Windows developers has selected a MacBook as the only explanation for why having BSD under the hood. If you’re looking for an explanation of why Apple is popular with developers, it’s nix under the hood. This ad fits all that.
Let’s see, they destroyed what the low-level API had access to in the graphics and the sound thanks Vista used the excuse that caused problems / planting with the bla bla blah core, They then launched the Xbox 360 to compete with the PC market on [GRAPHICS AND SOUND] deliberately paralyzed, then destroyed the network and created excuses to make it more secure this way BS M $, and now have the competent daily desktop users with Windows 10 applying download updates that will severely disrupt everything if their web connection is rarely so smart and removes the focus.
And there’s no doubt that this cross-platform will be implemented in your UWP, which is like a POW camp for software and users.
This current CEO is tracking AppleTree and is looking to block everything else with him.
I hope he’s as smart as I hope. The progression of Android in Windows can be very complicated because you want driving forces from manufacturers. On Linux, adb uses libsub and no special driving force is required.
I would love to give up Windows for Linux, but the inescapable fact is that I am much more productive on Windows, basically thanks to Visual Studio. If the Linux parts I like are on Windows, it’s rock’n’roll.
Maybe it’s time for MS to write a Windows from the end for Linux. 😛 LoL
It’s a trap! (Windows 10 is a trap, and letting things ‘nix’ run at 10 is just one way to lure more people into this trap!)
Yes, precisely this UWP is a prisoner-of-war camp
The challenge lies with Cygwin. This is with users who want the Linux command-line interface but cannot use Linux. They’re the ones who can suck it.
Two operating systems, with their own niche market, so what’s the problem? There is no MS that opposes Linux, everything is fine in your head and all this debate about what is best, as the Borg say, is useless.
Although it’s a really wonderful feature, and I’m glad Microsoft thinks it adds value to Linux help in its operating system, other people seem to think this has been done before, with FreeBSD.

It’s a wonderful idea, but it’s not a new idea.
People deserve to take a look at using a Linux guest operating system via VirtualBox on their Windows host operating system if they want smart progression tools. Any caller-worthy developer who doesn’t use ArrayNET deserves to be on Linux.
This move through Microsoft is a typical attempt at adoption, extension, extinction that may very well be counterproductive to Microsoft. As more and more tech-savvy developers begin to see the benefits of Linux and Linux cli progression tools, they are less likely to continue to adopt Microsoft’s method.
I am not a lawyer, but I am also convinced that this initiative through Microsoft will likely violate the GPL in several ways. This violates the principles of the GPL license.
Does this mean that the other gccs for Windows can, however, be removed from cygwin? Somewhere deep, in the background, there’s a mismatch between fork() and CreateProcess(), which makes gcc in Windows 10 sometimes slower than on Linux. This looks like in arm-gcc and pic-gcc, where they are much faster in a Linux environment that can run them on a virtual appliance as well as in local windows.
Hello, does anyone know if it is possible to install an nVidia graphics driving force on Cygwin (assuming a physical nVidia graphics card has already been installed and works well on Windows) to make it look like a new device is coming out on the network? ?
Oh up close! Imagine doing everything on paper or on a typewriter like I did when I developed. Windows and Linux are better than that. The maximum productivity of Windows is probably the advertising support and, in my opinion, the maximum Linux productivity that you don’t even want X or a wm to access. So having them in combination is great. I tried to combine those items by buying a MacBook Pro 3 years ago, but the terminal is incredibly slow. I run Windows 10 and Xubuntu Xenial on my home laptop, a Lenovo B50-30, which is crap compared to many other things, but they work great. And I couldn’t be happier with the WSL news because that takes away some of the temptation to try the double boot of my new Surface Book… which, in the meantime, is amazing! Microsoft is definitely another company. Having hated their guts forever, I’m starting to warm up (not like Apple, which I still hate because I think they’re very smart in marketing concepts that aren’t unique… like Google advertising on the Internet! I don’t hate) Google. Actually, I don’t hate Apple either.) We all have our own opinions, reports and desires. I love Linux. I want Linux, spiritually and emotionally. But I want Windows to run Thermo Xcalibur and MaxQuant (no cube in wine), so that’s it. Thanks to PCs, I can now do in 30 minutes what was almost unlikely in the 1990s. For me, I feel smart sitting in front of any PC and I am very grateful to have grown up with this technology.
It’s lousy – I saw that it just messed up files, and that one one happens, it’s too much. Why am I having trouble using a Linux edition that is SLIGHTLY incompatible with a genuine Linux system, when I have virtual machines and a wide variety of Linux systems to use on this system? A guy in the frames played with him, cursed several times and then went back to his VM.
I’ll use Wine because it’s free, but that’s the only explanation why I’d use Wine; However, since I have Windows anyway, I’ll only use Windows on a virtual machine.
This only convinces me of a win10 component, for now I’m still in win7 with cygwin and I get annoyed win10 BS.
yes, yes, yes, I know, theoretically I can make sure that win10 doesn’t behave like a 4-year-old who needs to do something that’s not allowed yet as a 13-year-old who knows how to behave, but I prefer a mature, realistic, more professional Windows 7 habit.
And yes, until M$ reuses the actual verification equipment (your software is not manually verified at all! Just automation, that’s probably why it breaks and does boring AF things) I’ll use $ on your call because it’s transparently reasonable in quality.
