WSL has reached the level of usability and polish where it's time for microsoft to deprecate the whole thing as is tradition

It's kind of funny that it took a week for windows 11 to go from a thing people were mildly excited about to the new vista or windows 8 and it hasn't even been released yet.

cheap (hardware, though the software also is effectively free) and gives you access to largely all software and support for all hardware of any relevance, while the downsides are largely funny in their stupidity rather than serious problems. if you want to meditate on it in an unfunny way though slashdot still exists.

thumbs up, works great  (and for the record that is not a cherry pick as far as having issues goes, it is just kind of lol that they thumbs-upped it with that list of issues). e: in fact just about every thumbs up has some variant of "crashes but works between the crashes!" in it

you should just start with the anecdotal "i have never had a problem" rather than first linking a page full of people having fairly severe issues while listing random launch flags, settings, and package/software versions they have janitored up to make it only have "fairly" severe issues.

and either way i can't disagree with the "just buy a ps5" is we're talking about how to conveniently and in a relaxed way play some aaa games (which is where i think compatibility issues are most likely). well, possibly an xbox if game pass keeps looking way better than sonys offering, but either way computer gaming is kind of messy.

ended up on windows 11 as i was on insider slow (to try out wsl gpu, very good for cuda as i don't get along with the windows tooling at all), which again suggests that this is a tiny update. much as i roll my eyes at people complaining loudly about old interfaces here and there in settings, the right-click menu in explorer is now an oversized list of like six (mostly useless, e.g. "copy") items, the last being "more options" which pops up the *old* right-click menu, which has a strict superset of choices, including e.g. the often useful 7zip shortcuts. between that and the new task bar offering no new features while not being possible to move from the bottom of the screen it is all pretty much comically dumb. i doubt it is worse in any really *substantial* way, but it sure doesn't offer anything to offset these kinds of dumb changes.

That's seven times more heinous than any of the windows 8 UI changes.
