WHAAAT?! 😱

#WSL is now #OpenSource?

Does that mean "We" can finally (fork and…)RENAME it, so that its name actually makes sense?

I'd vote for #LSW - #Linux Subsystem for #Windows!

…because that's exactly what it IS - it's Linux, in a sub-system, and it's for/on Windows!

Let's solve ONE of the 2 most difficult problems in #ComputerScience:

✅ naming things
😅 cache invalidation
🤣 off-by-1 errors

edit: +pic; of course, there are #Caveats - src:Copilot-deepThink - some remains #proprietary

a deep think result of Microsoft copilot; SOME components of WSL "remain proprietary"

[#LSW] Rückblick auf die Linken Studiwochen 2024

Wir blicken auf 3 Wochen voller spannender Veranstaltungen im Rahmen der Linken Studiwochen zurück.

Den Anfang machte unser monatlicher Offener Antifa Abend, der sich dieses Mal mit Fallstricken und Perspektiven von antifaschistischer Arbeit in Ostdeutschland beschäftigt hat. Vielen Dank an die Genossen aus Sachsen-Anhalt für den tollen Vortrag!

Zusammen mit den Falken Bonn haben wir einen W

@jk because technically it's the #LinuxSubsystemForWindows [#LSW or "Lasow"] and not #WindowsSubsystemForLinux [Which is #wine as it provides #Windows - #API's and #ABI's under #Linux.]

#But #Microsoft is known for fucking up things and making #enshittified and worse clones of existing #POSIX & #LSB tools...

@jalefkowit or just use #Linux instead or use #btrfs or #ext4 which #Windows suooorts due to the #LinuxSubsystemForWindows (calling it the other way aroundbis just wrong - period!)

@Ariri OFC it's not sandboxed but a worse reimplementation of #UnixServices for #Windows.

Also it should be called #LSW / #LinuxSubsystemForWindows, because #Wine+#Proton+#DXVK is the real #WindowsSubsystemForLinux / #WSL!

@Linux_Is_Best Only 4 issues:

1. They don't tell devs to just yeet Windows and be done with it.

2. They don't admit "#SecureBoot" to solely exist as #CensorBoot to block #Linux installations.

3. They still call their "#LinuxSubsystemForWindows" (#LSW) the wrong way around "#WindowsSubsystemForLinux" which is wrong because it's not #Wine / #Proton that allows running #Windows #Applications on #Linux.

4. They don't do an actual #Windows subsystem for #Linux aka. kill Windows and support Wine!
