Red Hat & Microsoft Bringing RHEL To WSL

[bkdwt]

Here we go with all the Microsoft hate. Red Hat just wants to put their product in front of users, and this is just another avenue of doing so. Hating on them for wanting to do this is just silly IMHO. People like to criticize Red Hat (sometimes justifiably so), but they are a massive net positive contributor to Linux and open-source at large, so calm your tits.

Freetards being freetards, my friend.

You have the balls to call other people clueless and idiots while simultaneously calling COVID a "made up" virus?

If you're trolling, not bad, you got me to respond but if you really believe what you say, then I feel sorry for you.

One of the rare times I can agree with you without reservation

Wow, you are another idiot. They killed CentOS or are you just waking up from a coma?

No, they forced employees to get vaccinated - and even though so many ppl were having side effects from getting jabbed - lots of ppl ended up with permanent health problems not from made-up covid 'virus' but the actual vaccines themselves - and you still can't really sue any of those companies - they are still more or less exempt so all those ppl are f*cked. There was a lot of research out there before Google removed everything - you would have discovered how the cycle count threshold of pcr tests could be manipulated to achieve bs positives or negatives - whatever they wanted. But, that's here nor there - it's old news - no one cares about that anymore, surely not covidian idiots who think the vaccines 'saved countless lives.' Sure. Speaking of governments - the US government - that ensures ppl have rights via the Constitution were forcing ppl to get vaccinated, conspiring with corporations who threatened ppl's jobs and careers - making it a condition of further employment - even though these ppl could work from home? Yeah, really altruistic and ethical, there, bud.

Red Hat was fully on board....they didn't object or challenge it.

F*ck, you ppl are so damn stupid and pathetic - you can't see five feet in front of you. Yeah, these companies have your best interests at heart - going in League with Microsoft will have a good outcome and you can feel all cozy, don't worry. /s Idiots....

This guy seriously has issues. Every post is bagging out someone else calling them a moron. He had me at "clot shot"...what a moron lol.

Dear people, can we please have a decent, polite, and on-topic discussion? I'm really shocked on what is being posted here!
If you have other topics to discuss (or feel to express your opinion on), please find an appropriate platform to do this on.

You're a sheep and 24/7 troll, afaik. You have the gall to think I troll? LOL! How much research did you do on covid? Probably zero. Anyway, I had chats with sheep years ago about the topic, I already been there, done that. Ciao, tool.

I knew my decision to go all-in to Windows years ago was a good one.

No more having to read about about whether so-and-so WiFi chipset is compatible on Linux. There will *always* be a Windows driver for it.
No more having to wonder if a printer that is not from that overpriced crappy company known as HP is compatible on Linux. There will *always* be Windows drivers. And no more having to deal with that fuckkery that is CUPS.
No more having to search for shitty alternatives to specialized software that exists only in Windows.
No need to deal with the glibc versioning madness. Compile any project against the latest Windows 11 SDK and it will still work all the way back to Windows 8.1

I use Windows, too - dual boot - but, that doesn't make Microsoft any less evil. If ppl want to concede that Linux is going that way, too, okay....at least, ppl are aware. But, no, they are delusional...at least on here.

Wtf is an init doing with a network stack?

Not sure whether you are referring to the socket activation capability or the local unix socket used for communication with system tools but both are quite reasonable usages and deliver nice features.

Socket activation allows the system configuration to have network services available without having to continuously run them.

The incoming client request gets "accepted" while the actual service starts and then the client connection and the server socket are handed over to it.
The service can then either remain idle or hand back the server socket, e.g. when it has been idle for a given time.

The system local communication socket enables tools (and thus the user/administrator) to affect changes to the running init stage without having to restart it (which could potentially require system restart).

We are opentards. Big difference.

Red Hat is "free" but its open-ness is starting to fail. Just like any large machine really.

If anything we would see *more* contributions to Xorg because RH are acting as a block.

Fake news.

That is not what this is, sweety. Microsoft wants you to run Windows, in order to do Linux things. Microsoft's goal is to make Windows a requirement, even when developing and deploying code on Linux. The proprietary Microsoft extensions will come soon enough, and then Windows will become mandatory for corporate Linux software development. Microsoft will do anything they can to prevent Linux from gaining a foothold in the corporate desktop market. EEE is not a 1990's Microsoft strategy - it's Redmond doctrine.
