What makes you think that's even possible? WSL works because the NT kernel was built with POSIX compliance out of the gate and they've been able to translate some of the functionality. >Want to _really_ impress us, Microsoft? Give us a Windows Subsystem for Linux. But please, give us developers (who practically _live_ in your environments) something. There is only pain, frustration, and anger on the part of users. Wipe and reinstall (remove the Dell bloatware) and it's better. The same applies to Windows 10! It works fine, sometimes, for a few things. My high end Android phone, even after factory reset, has occasional mind-boggling hangs (after which 1000 UI events register and take effect). My Macs work 99% of the time as expected. But thankfully, some of what they did in the years past (dare I say during the reign of Jobs) is what has made them special. Perhaps in a generation or three they will finally leave behind most of their protectionist behaviors and embrace what works for them (for better or worse) - MS Office and the host of Windows apps that businesses depend on.Īpple is no saint or savior.

I very much appreciate what Microsoft is trying to do. And it was far, far less performant than on native Mac. But for a developer using Python, Elixir, Node, Nginx, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Git! SSH! and some other smaller accessories, WSL was far less performant than a Linux VM on my Mac. I didn't document all my activities, so I can't point to which thing was slow. But now, 2 months later, here I continue developing and existing on my old rMBP.īash in Windows is incredibly slow on some actions. Apple had lost sight of what mattered to developers, and I was angry. I chose a maxxed out Dell XPS15 laptop with Windows 10 to replace my 3 year old rMBP with the (foolish) expectation that it could replace my Mac. Want to _really_ impress us, Microsoft? Give us a Windows Subsystem for Linux.
