>a WSL2-esque wrapper around Virtualization.framework allowing for easy installation of Linux containers.
So Linux is now a first class citizen on both Windows and Mac? I guess it really is true that 'if you can't beat em, join em.' Jobs must be rolling in his grave.
- trentnelson 8mo agoI mean to be fair, WSL1 and WSL2 are extremely successful engineering efforts by Microsoft. I can’t imagine having to go back to the Cygwin days.
- freedomben 8mo agoI'm one of the few I think who really liked Cygwin. Far from perfect of course, but I even still prefer it to WSL depending on what I'm doing.
- thebiss 8mo agoIt's well supported by the architecture.
