Windows wasn't a thing when the GNU project was started iirc. Regardless, Linux was made to work with MINIX (and later GNU), not Windows.
>Windows 10 is revealed to have capabilities to open Linux apps
Sort of, but not really.
End user programs on GNU/Linux have almost always existed with Windows ports. People typically don't use GNU/Linux for some exclusive programs.
>Everyone now wants to ditch Linux
If I'm not mistaken, Windows 10 has caused more people to move to GNU/Linux. They aren't moving in droves, but they are trickling over.
>Windows' plan to kill Linux is working
I don't think Microsoft was ever threatened by GNU/Linux in the consumer market, as they get most of their money there via OEM sales --which people usually pay, even if they don't use the OEM Windows Licence. Once you've bought the machine, it's no loss to them if you use Windows or not.

>If I'm not mistaken, Windows 10 has caused more people to move to GNU/Linux. They aren't moving in droves, but they are trickling over.
most people claiming they moved to linux stayed on 7. Most of them are retards anyway. Those who switched, rarely stay on Linux.
Windows 10 Linux Subsystem is not for people who want to use Linux. These people are happy with Linux, thank you very much. It's more for people who find using certain Windows tools unbearable and usually switch to OSX or keep a linux box at home even though they would use Windows otherwise. Web devs, sys admins, etc.

I don't think it will do wonders at Linux vs MS fight, that isn't happening. They want to target OSX users.

GNU and Linux are unrelated. Learn your RMScore.

Torvalds wanted a UNIX for his 386 workstation, and Hurd didn't exist yet and MINIX was infeasible for reasons I don't recall right now, so he started making his own UNIX-clone.

If you've actually used the Windows Subsystem for Linux you'll know that it's pretty much not even remotely usable at this stage.

this is where you are not specific enough.
Linux was meant to be a simple copy of Minix working only on Intel 386.
>>
>>54098832
that's because GNU/Windows already has been sorta done, I think there are multiple busybox projects for windows.
>>
>Windows 10 is revealed to have capabilities to open Linux apps
bash does not equal having linux app support. You still need to compile them or use stuff like Cygwin, which has been around way before Windows 10 even came out.

Not a joke. It's possible to have a bash shell inside windows.

Because Windows has more support and security compared to linux.
>>
>>54097778
Its still in beta. Everyone always dog Microsoft all the time and yet they still come out on top. Alot of linuxite are afraid of users leaving linux since linux is bash will come to windows. I know you mean more and all but bash is only the stepping stone
Soon windows plus debian.

Linux killed itself and it didn't need help for that. By now only underage /g/-tards use Linux and 90% of them will ditch it for OS X or even Windows when they get a full-time job. It happened when I was in college, where everyone loved Linux and muh free software and then suddenly one day they started buying MacBooks. Basically Linux on the desktop is a toy OS, at first it's lots of fun but after that you get tired.
>>
>>54098889

False, the Linux Subsystem for Windows literally reads ELF executables, translating Linux syscalls to Windows syscalls. Do your homework before trying to argue, freetard.

Als ich an diesem Linux propaganda zu sehen drehen, wächst mein Glaube an den Sieg auf den unermesslichen! Für diese Propaganda erlebte ich schon einmal. Seit fast fünfzehn Jahren wurde diese Propaganda gegen uns gerichtet. My Old Party Comrades, erinnern Sie sich diese Propaganda! Es sind die gleichen Worte, die gleichen Phrasen - ja - wenn wir genauer betrachten, sehen wir die gleichen Köpfe die gleichen Dialekte sprechen.

Die Generation von heute - es ist der Träger von FreeBSD das Schicksal; von FreeBSD für die Zukunft oder in FreeBSD fallen. Unsere Feinde, weinen sie bereits aus heute: FreeBSD fallen wird! Doch FreeBSD kann nur eine Antwort geben: FreeBSD wird leben, und damit wird FreeBSD gewinnen! Zu Beginn des zweiundzwanzig Jahres der OS Revolution, drehen unsere Herzen auf unser FreeBSD Volk und seine Zukunft.

Wir wollen diese Zukunft zu dienen. Wir wollen, dafür zu kämpfen und, falls erforderlich, fallen für sie. Wir werden niemals FreeBSD - für kapitulieren müssen gewinnen und es werden gewinnen!

*BSD, Sieg Heil!

Wrong.

Linux is a kernel; used in the GNU operating system, wich was started by Richard Stallman so people have a free as in freedom operating system.

The term "alternative" suggests that free operating systems co-exists next to propritary operating systems, but in fact, you should always use free software, and if you can't, propritary software can be an alternative.
