Windows 10 is gift that keeps on giving.

2014: Windows gets multiple desktops
2016: Windows gets bash and the rest of linux userspace
2017+: Windows just runs every linux program internally, while giving them access to its first-tier APIs and libraries
native lincucks on suicide watch

so they're only around 10 years behind? wow.
At that rate, a modern filesystem is probably scheduled for 2020.

I'd rather see a Linux distro that can natively run .exe's than Windows running Linux programs though.
Windows' vast software library is the only reason I can't use Linux as my main OS.
>>54540189
2016: windows gets the shittiest and increasingly irrelevant parts of linux userspace - the GNU shell utilities - in a VM - and everything else barely runs. you can't manage windows using systemd or anything.
2017: nothing progresses beyond that point, it was another gimmick, microsoft doesn't want to support competition that well

And they still haven't gotten multiple desktops right after 2 years. Try to order desktops by dragging them in Win+Tab.
>>54540189
call me when it runs htop and lets me kill the entire OS by killing superuser-processes.
You almost never use linux because it has exclusive software. In fact that's the only reason windows is used.
The reason you use linux is because of the much more efficient, advanced and flexible OS.

*yawn*
I'm tired of these threads, If you don't like Linux don't use it we really don't care.

The worst thing is that winbabbies think they're safe from the spyware if they use another version of windows.
This surveillance shit has gone on forever. Look up NSAKEY and ADVAPI.dll
