@cR0w @da_667 nodds in agreement

• I'm convinced #Microsoft won't "fix" #Windows (by migrating to #Linux and merely integrating a #WindowsSubsystemForLinux (aka. #Wine) instead of their botched #LinuxSubsystemForWindows) because they do get $$$$$$$$ from the #Scareware-#Scam-Industry that is "#Antivirus"-#Software!

But the best are those "#AV" Vendors that use #ClownFlare "for #DDoS-Protection" like some #malware distributors from #Russia.

• Makes them look really trustworthy!

Personally, I just #ban all #proproetary file.formats & -protocols as a matter of principle!

Arch Linux WSL is now official!

Windows Subsystem for Linux was released on August 2nd, 2016, for Windows 10 systems. Since then, WSL 2 was released on 2019 to bring more improvements, including GUI support for Linux desktop applications. It initially only supported Ubuntu, but we’ve seen more and more distributions support WSL.

One of the Linux distributions that supports WSL is Arch Linux, which has been recently made official. You can find instructions on how to install Arch Linux on WSL in the below button:

This allows Windows users to try out Arch Linux using the Windows Subsystem for Linux feature. Please note that you must have WSL version 2.x installed, because Arch Linux doesn’t support WSL 1.x.

The Arch Linux team recommends that, once you install Arch Linux WSL, you’ll have to run the Pacman database synchronization using the pacman -Sy command. Optionally, you’ll have to install all available upgrades using the pacman -Syu command.

By default, you’ll get a default root account, so you may have to configure your Arch Linux WSL to create a new user to ensure that you have better experience. After installing Arch and updating the packages, follow the below steps to create a user account:

1. Open Arch Linux WSL
2. Use the useradd command to add a user
   • For example, if you want a user account called tux, use useradd tux
3. Use the groupmod command to add a wheel group for sudo and to add yourself to the group
   • Execute groupadd wheel
   • Execute groupmod -U tux -a wheel
   • Optionally, ensure that your user gets added to the wheel group using the groups tux command.
4. Install sudo and allow users under the wheel group to execute sudo
   • Execute pacman -Sy sudo vim
   • Execute visudo (recommended) or vim /etc/sudoers (not recommended)
   • Find the # %wheel ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL line (usually line 125) and uncomment it by removing the hashtag character, then save the changes using the :w! command.
5. Create the home directory for your user and correct its ownership
   • Execute mkdir /home/tux
   • Execute chown -R tux:tux /home/tux
6. Exit the current WSL session and change the default user for the archlinux distribution
   • Refer to this documentation for more information (there are more methods documented here)
   • If you’re using WSL 2.4.10 or later, use the wsl --manage <distro> --set-default-user <username> command. For example, use wsl --manage archlinux --set-default-user tux.
7. Re-open the Arch Linux WSL distribution and verify that your user account is used instead of the root account.

@kawa actually it slows down (and if your System had fancy 7-segmebt displays for clock speeds, it would show you that as well!)...

• So technically it should've been a "#SlowButton" and not a "#TurboButton" but then again #Micorosft calls their #LinuxSubsystemForWindows the other way around (which is wromg because a #WindowsSubsystemForLinux would be #Wine or #Proton...

@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...

Windows Subsystem for Linux Settings GUI app is coming (and other WSL updates)

The Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is an optional feature that allows you to install and run a Linux distribution and run Linux applications in Windows without dual-booting or installing a traditional virtual machine.
Aimed at developers, WSL was originally a command-line only feature, but in recent years Microsoft has added support for running […]
