   Someone emailed me repeatedly asking if they could get $x app working on WSL. I replied that I didn't know and suggested they ask Microsoft. Now they're upset because I'm not providing a "correct" answer. Please don't do this. I honestly don't know much about WSL. Windows & WSL are paid options, so why not go straight to the source (Microsoft) and ask them directly? Why email a random person? If it were Linux or Unix, I would have happily provided guidance, but in this case, I'm simply clueless

     @nixCraft because it's easier to blame someone than to make an effort 😉

     Don't get upset by those trolls, keep the conversation history as proof and you'll be fine should anyone else ever ask about that.

     @nixCraft WSL 2 uses the Linux kernel so the answer would likely be yes, but I take your point.
