Last time I tried WSL was with getting this laptop a few years ago. As a
network guy, I sort of just sat there stunned that the frigging thing
couldn't network. Why the hell would you make a linux emulation layer that
couldn't network? Is this still Ballmer-hate?
What the hell is good in this day and age without networking? I don't see
how they even shipped it as a thing without network support.
This and other major things like I said visual lag in the gui, with
up-to-date os, drivers, etc shipped from dell, was utter shite, and just
angered me. It was graphically unusable to me. I gave windoze a solid 2
weeks as a trial, just to see, and it was garbage to try and be
productive. It really didn't like when I was layer on VM's in vbox, which
usually I have 5-8 vm's at a time running in my main system, and it fell
apart.
People ask why I bother with linux. Because windoze can't do the things I
do in linux, like run 10 vm's of different os's and still game on steam.
I've ran linux on a desktop as my main rig since 2006, as well as dealing
with entirely windoze enterprise worlds, so I like to think I have some
knowledge of this.
