   There is no such thing as a bad Linux distro except Hannah Montana Linux. No, I take it back. That award goes to the bastardized version of Linux called WSL.

     @nixCraft It's not even a "Windows Subsystem for Linux"; it's a Linux subsystem for Windows.

     @nixCraft Well it's a bit shitty, but it is still better than Windows it uses as bootloader.

     @nixCraft Not a WSL(2) user, but have spoken to a couple of peeps who are or were in the past. Their view was WSL > MacOSX for development, esp. if containers are involved.

     @nixCraft Had too many issues with WSL, so I finally switched to VirtualBox. Plus, WSL requires installing additional software over time. Now I just start my headless Fedora VM from powershell. No GUI needed. BTW I've updated to 41 last night.
