Obviously not if they're having to shoehorn Linux in there just to attract developers!


They don't have to do that. But it's yet another thing that can be done.


Sure, but it rather pokes a hole in the concept of general computing, does it not? If windows were an acceptable general purpose OS people here would be mad they were wasting their time on this.

Somehow I just don't see the same demand for people on macs/linux and WINE. It seems like a niche interest to actively want to combine the two worlds and I am VERY interested if any significant number of people use this who are not driven by gaming needs.

I don't see how. I pretty much think anyone should do whatever they want with their computers. Windows is acceptable for some, and not for others. I can't see the point of getting mad about what software other people are running.

I have never used WSL, but if I ever do, it definitely won't be for gaming.
