X11 WORKS ON BASH FOR WINDOWS
LINUX CONFIRMED DEAD AND BANKRUPT
Bro Linux was/is already dead and irrelevant.
KDE can already run on Windows.
does this mean we can run htop on Windows?
>>53904915
It's sandboxed to the Linux processes.
>>53904874
Those errors..
>>53904874
I'm not sure what this means.
Maybe it will keep developers on Windows, but at this point, why even have a windows machine if they've defaulted to tradtional UNIX tools for work?
fuck yeah built in virtual machine.
shit i've had for years on windows but provided by virtualbox.
already came winfags?
>>53904900
>KDE
>on top of X
>on top of Ubuntu
>on top of fucking Windows, of all things
is this supposed to be some kind of horror how? Like lets see how many god-awful things we can chain together?
>>53904999
already did
>>53904991
I need Photoshop and Lightroom for work. I'm never installing a dual boot ever again. This will make my life much easier.
>>53905012
Protip: It's not a virtual machine
>>53904874
Why the fuck would you run the worst things of *nix land on Windows?
>>53904991
>why even have a windows machine if they've defaulted to tradtional UNIX tools for work?
gnu tools. windows had always had shitty unix-like tools. every commercial unix switched to gnu tools before they died. it is windows turn.
>>53905272
>GNU/Windows is a real thing now
>>53905122
i know its not. i'm limited to ubuntu and in virtual machine i can run every single shit that can boot.
you mad?
>>53905019
It's like an electronic human centipede.
>>53904874
uhh, they are only doing this because powershell sucks ass. adding bash to it doesnt mean windows stopped being shit.
>>53905451
Literally this. What Microshaft did is put a cherry on top of their steaming pile of crap and showed it off proudly to the world like it changes anything.
>>53905451
You now can run linux apps on windows
You can also run all the windows apps and games you love and need
There's literally no reason to use linux in 2016
>>53905516
It's like these tards forgot about the NSA.
That was the point you fucking inbred retard
>>53904915
You can use cygwin ps to manage Windows process with w flag. htop could theoretically work but probably needs patching
>X11
Just in time to see its deprecation live?
I can-t even install git. wtf are you doing to Ubuntu servers?
>>53905516
When were exclusive applications ever an argument to use Linux ?
>>53905480
>Microshaft
Watch out everybody, this guy is edgy as all fuck.
>>53905451
This. By doing this, they admitted that powerlel was shit and that no pro can live without actual Linux.
They are literally promoting Linux on Windows, holy shit!
I can't believe there are still some cucks that pay for MS "spying as service" model because their boss makes them or because they can't boot into Windows for gaymen activities.
>>53905700
since ever
its not my fault you're a computer illiterate
>>53904874
>>53904890
>>53904900
>>53905516
>>53906285
is it open source?
is the telemetry gone?
is the botnet gone?
no? ok
>>53906394
>is the botnet gone?
what botnet
>>53906412
>what botnet
it's like they're brainwashed KEK

>>53904874
this is going to bring linux to windows users, therefore, is windows death
can someone tryping www.google.com
it says ping: unknown host www.google.com
>>53904874
Can it run GNOME w/ Crysis in wine? No? ok.
>>53904874
What did it win
>>53904890
The illiteracy is strong in this one. Stay in your desktop world little guy.

It kinda only proves that Linux is better.

git works beautifully
Or I could run a vm and have the xming run on windows?
I just don't see the point if this shit can't work outside of the virtual environment other than the filesystem.
>>53905107
pajeet, you made a mistake using the phrase 'dual boot'. next time use 'i'm never dual-booting' when they give you that hindi script.
and no, thank YOU.
>>53907235
this thing is FAST. way faster than vm
>>53907293
Have you used it?
>>53907323
yes. I'm cross-compiling ffmpeg right now.It's also way faster than msys2
>>53907293
Show benchmarks
>>53907366
Are you using mxe?
>>53907235
It's essentially the inverse of WINE. It translates Linux system calls directly to Windows system calls, exactly like what Wine does. Except Microsoft has the advantage of working with an open source API while WINE developers have to reverse engineer everything in the dark.
Still, it's significantly faster than a VM will ever be.
>>53905019
This, just sounds like MS is making hyper-v implicit with a ubuntu install already to go.
>>53907293
Maybe faster than a type-1 vm, not a type-2 m8.
>>53906434
that's not what a botnet means tho
>>53907694
Most people on /g/ only know the term "botnet" in reference to Chrome - which people started calling a botnet as a joke but eventually caught on by actual uninformed posters who don't know what a botnet is.
'Botnet' in modern usage essentially means 'data mining', though obviously that's not at all what a botnet is or does.
>>53907694
If you are that new to /g/ that you can't use "botnet" the way it's used here, how about Windows distributing forced updates peer-to-peer using PCs of their customers?
Is that botnet enough for you?
neither top nor htop actually work
0/10 its shit
>>53904874
>Bash on Ubuntu on Windows in titlebar
that just sounds dumb
>>53907634
Don't forget that MS implemented it directly in the kernel, which WINE doesn't do.
>>53904874
Winfags are by far the most ignorant people and the planet. Windows has been shown to be nothing more than a pretend OS that is marketed towards the self-righteous and arrogant retards that are gullible enough to fall for pyramid schemes.
> Always a day late and dollar short
> Always wrong
>>53907736
They implemented GUI in the kernel too.
Rumor is, they did it for teh lulz.
>>53904874
>how could we made our cancer worst...
>i know, let's get aids!!!
>>53907235
Even with "only" filesystem access, there's some obvious cases where it would be useful.
For programs like git, you can get proper native git support without any Windows fuckery in the way. Open bash, cd into the repo, and work exactly like you're on Linux. You can even use vim/nano/emacs/etc.
>Linunx is only bash
>x11
>not Wayland
>>53905309
I'm not as mad as you are retarded.
>>53904874
X servers on Microsoft platforms have been a thing since DOS was a volume seller, big whoop
>>53907790 (You)
>connecting to Cygwin's X server over TCP
that's cheating
it's incredible how 2 tiny files (lxcore.sys and lxss.sys) can make people this happy
>>53907694
The fact that Microsoft can push updates any time they want does make it a botnet, though.
>>53904874
i prefer a non-bloated OS.
wake me up when a win install is >10gb with preinstalled shit. kkthxbye
>>53904890
>has never done development
>>53905019
Cause it's funny
>>53908593
>ohgod.jpg
kek someone managed to run Gimp on this
>>53908593
Does it work?
>>53909603
Yes, but slowly. Very, very slowly.
Let me think of a Linux application I can't live without... fug. It's either already ported or has a better analog, even low level shit like hdparm.
how do you enable it anon?
>>53907809
Yes, MS is fucking retarded.
>>53906394
>is it open source?
As if you ever contributed code, faggot.
Installing it right now.
Try installing screenfetch, and post it here.
>>53905451
>doesn't understand object-oriented shell
>Bash
>X11
why are they only interested in the shitty parts of ganoo/linux? why not revive NeWS or D11?
>>53904890
#rekt
So what actually can you do with X11? I've had it on my computer since I was 6 and I still don't really know what I can do with it
Install openbox I guess?
funny how many people dont know what X11 IS on /g/ fucking sad kill me
>>53905207
now they can spy on eachother
does it work already?
>>53905291
Considering the architecture, it's more like NT/Windows/GNU
Can you install this on a live win10 system or do you have to get that insider build?
>>53904874
>>53904890
The level of stupid here is just painful. Not sure about Linux desktop relevancy in the mainstream, but OpenStack is a thing, as is the LAMP stack.
>>53905451
>>53905480
>>53905884
Are you fucking serious? Have you ever actually used powershell? No? I didn't think so.
>>53908116
Actually X-Windows was invented for that kind of client-server scenario.
>>53905309
It's literally wine. Except backwards and with no need for reverse engineering just to run the most basic programs.
>>53913482
not really
wine had to recreate the whole windows api
while just uses the straight linux libraries, so it's more similar to BSD's emulation for Linux binaries
so can i run vim on it
>>53913772
You could always run vim on windows.
>>53904874
>X11
Ughh, kill yourself.
>>53913418
I used powershell. It's crap compared to bash or zsh.
>>53907722
Apart from you can turn that off in settings
Now that Windows took away from Lunix what it had going on for itself expect Lunix marketshare to drop below 0.5% lmao
>>53914048
>The only reason people use linux is for bash
>>53914057
yeah, because it was only bash that was ported *facepalm*
>>53914039
But it's on be default and you know the majority of consumers would never think to look for an option that might turn their home PC into an update distribution server.
I feel bad for people in rural areas on satellite internet with crazy data prices.
>>53904874
Did they write a non-shit terminal emulator to go with it? This is important.

Botnet requeriments:
-remote code execution - check
-data mining - check
W10 IS a botnet. WUpdate changing user settings... Proven shady past NSA, fucking adware...
Sure there is many edgy people here, and most it is baits, and indeed too much tripfags dankmemery, but people who deny this facts are literally retarded and deserves whatever it happens to them for not taking responsability nor having awarness of their idiocy, poor dunning krugered kids.

Sounds like a great platform to run asm.js on node on chromium on
>>53914808
i don't think the kids on /g/ would mind giving micro and soft their privacy and anal virginity to be able to play muh games at 10% more performance on DX12
Could I run wine on Windows now? Finally XP apps on w10
>>53905371
top kek
>>53907641
nope, bash for windows is 100% native.
>>53905884
you're an idiot. PS if for productieve work, Bash for windows is designed as a testing environment, those are two completely different use cases.
next time keep your stupid fucking mouth shut.
Whats the difference between this and using cygwin?
>>53915139
you get the entire ubuntu package repository, and it just works
Someone could run HTOP in bash?
Windows is still too slow and broken for me to use for development purposes.
I cringe every time I have to boot into it for vidya
>>53916286
do you even understand what a shell is?
