Sounds like a loop hole to run WSL and let compliance only check the host OS and not the WSL OS
I actually believe that. Seems like most Linux users are pretty anti Canonical and it's also the default distro for WSL2. I still like it for server use for enterprise support and whatnot, but I also don't really love the desktop experience they are currently shipping and don't use it on any gui machines currently. I'm not in love with snaps, if they opened up the store early on I might have been a believer but at this point it just feels like a land grab.
There is a default distro for WSL? Microsoft mostly advertises Ubuntu but that's it.
You can choose between Ubuntu, Fedora and Debian straight up but it used to force install Ubuntu last I used it.
Canonical has always had a bit of a not invented here syndrome. (Unity and Mir come to mind)
I have always recommended Ubuntu to newcomers. Mainly because its where I started (Free CDs and dial up in 2005!) and its always just mostly worked for me out of the box.
I use Ubuntu for most things but I mostly run MacOS for my desktop experience.
Remember Bazaar?
iiuc it supported a nicer workflow than git did, but that's not out of the ordinary as so does Darcs, Pijul, Jujutsu, Mercurial, etc. git is just "good enough" for people to put up with the rough edges, rather than learn a new tool that never has them to begin with.
It just never had the dev mindshare to catch on, it's been a GNU project for over 18 years at this point and that hasn't helped.
I used it extensively at a previous job and it was a good VCS, honestly.
Git is super powerful, but the learning curve is a bitch. Nobody bothers to read the docs, then shit their pants when they end up in headless state lol
That's why I love Fossil. "Headless" doesn't exist, the branch is associated to all the commits, unless you amend one of them with a later fixing tag.
Ok, but headless state isn't a bad thing if you understand what's going on.
Probably. However, I never miss a chance to plug Fossil. If fits better my brain 😁
The only bazaar I'm familiar with is this one. Which is an awesome interface to flat hub. But I can get behind the general sentiment that Canonical ruins everything related to canonical.
Their not invented here git
Another one!
It really did suck. That said never thought I would say it... at least it wasn't GitHub!
The thing that got released a couple of weeks before git?
Yeah lol
It's always fun to see people's examples of Canonical's NIH syndrome. They tend to include bazaar (predates git), upstart (predates systemd) and snap (predates flatpak)
Ubuntu is preparing for the AI PC
I sure hope they fork it. Not that anyone should be using Ubuntu in the first place but they sure do anyway.
