So, there's this Linux Filesystem for Windows, thing. It's only on the beta version of windows, but it looks like it can easily replace cygwin, MSYS, flinux, virtual machining, etc.
I heard it's like anti-wine, and at the moment it only runs ubuntu.
I suppose when it is more mature, different distros will get through, and maybe it could be ported off windows 10 to windows 8 or 7?
So, what do you think?
Will this feature be popular, is it shit?
I want to believe.
I want to correct myself, it's called linux subsystem for linux, not filesystem.

I hate to be all pessimistic, but someone has seriously fucked-up on this one. I mean getting it to run on Windows first and foremost would seem the most logical direction to take. Especially considering how most, if not all Linux distros have the capability of using a Linux filesystem already.

every computer in the world being able to run the same malware can't be a good thing.
