That just means only idiots install Ubuntu.

Or that it is just the default for WSL.

Ubuntu, not Linux.

This is backwards. Running Linux within Windows is such a waste of resources and mitigates a lot of the great things about Linux. Each to their own.

This is happening because Linux is the default OS for servers, robots, machines, etc., it just sucks balls for normie personal computing, so they'll use Winblows for the basic stuff, and WSL for the server-centric tasks.

Ubuntu can make it as toddler-centric as it wants, it won't change the fact that eventually a person will find a thing their machine won't do without an on-staff geek.

If they have heart, they'll try chasing the black screen into the depths of google oblivion or use AI for infinitely recirculating bad advice. It's ironic that a LLM running on a Linux server can't fix Linux.

Most people will punt and go back to Microsucks which grows more evil and abusive every day.

I'm just mad I can't get any of my file-management containers to work properly.

Tell me one thing that is harder to do on Linux than on Windows nowadays. Something coming from OS itself, not from hostile vendor the community managed to patch support for.

Crashing mid-game.
