Comment on Microsoft is rolling out Linux container support to WSL
rozodru@piefed.world 1 week agoit’s pretty much already there. you can essentially run windows via linux right now. on one of my machines I have a Windows 11 install with Arch Linux in an WSL2. I can manage and run/install/whatever on the windows machine via an Arch Linux prompt. and with stuff like winget and scoop that also works via Arch it’s easy.

WSL is really useful. These days I have to bounce around between Windows, Linux, FreeBSD and MacOS, so the fewer OS-specific commands I need to learn, the better. WSL with Debian in it saves me from having to properly learn PowerShell.
