Microsoft Releases Its Own Open-Source Process Monitor For Linux
Workstation Linux employees will find it increasingly difficult to justify the use of Linux at work and this will be the final nail in the Linux desktop coffin.
desktop linux doesn't need a nail in the coffin. linux desktop is pretty much not existing. check most distros why.
I obviously meant Microsoft wouldn't be able to use it the way they need it: extending it to run whatever proprietary stuff they need.
Then again, judging by the number of posts that didn't get what I meant, maybe it was so obvious?
Why not possible? Microsoft starts with DirectX support for WSL. So we will have Linux/crossplatform applications with some good features for productivity, which will work only when running via WSL a not on Linux directly... I've seen people switch to WSL from Linux. And, many more will do so, if their apps will be working better when running on WSL, therefore Windows, which has got also better gaming experience.
I want to be an optimist but what MS wants is to limit the scope of the usage of Linux.
If everything you can do on Linux you can do too on Windows then many people will not use Linux anymore, mostly professionals, and Linux will be to purely server or hobbyist use. Companies will invest even less on Linux (desktop) and game over.
Not everyone wants to run this slow, bloated, insecure, spyware OS and be dependent on Microsoft. As for professionals those who are smart are using Linux:
Sometimes ago I decided to switch on Linux since CPU performance is quite impressive compared to Windows for my tasks. I’m a 3D artist and practically everything in my workflow is for 30% faster on Linux and it is serious advantage over windows for me.
