It works well - for a Windows subsystem. It is well-integrated but also separate which can be annoying sometimes.

For example, you might code in Python in VSC against a WSL folder but make a script to eventually run in Windows. You need to install and update Python twice then - a Linux and a Windows version (obvious, but can be annoying).

WSL is also really slow, especially for filesystem heavy stuff. You know how on Linux programs sometimes run faster via Wine/Proton than on Windows itself? Yeah, this is the other way around.

It was earlier, when they released Windows 7 and it was the first (and only) release, management gave development a largely free hand and they could bring down some technical debt.

But apparently that didn’t work out for Microsoft and now we get one dystopian news after another.

American beer, we have some of the worlds best

Such as? I’m not at all a beer gourmet and don’t particularly dislike American beer (not even the light variants) but I’ve been to multiple states and never got a beer I considered top notch.

For example I’ve been to Florida just recently and apparently IPA is the shit nowadays. Didn’t like a single one of them, they all tasted artificial.

Edit: Also, I hope your bar for European beer isn’t stuff like Heineken or Beck’s. They are not bad but pretty basic stuff sold worldwide. Nobody in Europe considers those particularly great.

Isn’t the POSIX incompatibility a major roadblock when scripting?

Tomb Raider was released in 1996 and DK64 in 1999. Three years were kind of a big difference back then.

Linux via Proton is effectively an emulation or translation layer,

Akshually, wine is not an emulator!

I’ll see myself out.

Maybe I got this wrong but doesn’t flirting imply consent because it’s a bidirectional thing?
