what even is a platform anymore

Nice! I've been waiting for this to hit the Insider channels for a while. As soon as I get the latest build installed, I look forward to retiring VcXsrv πŸ™‚

Oh this is lovely!

Just fired up Reveal on WSL2 without Xlaunch installed and it’s super fast and pixel-gorgeous πŸ™‚

@bozhidar Have you already tried emacs with wslg? :)

I haven't yet (first I should figure out how to get this insider stuff installed)

@borkdude Not yet - it works great with X410, so I'm in no rush. Of course, I'll be the first to switch to wslg, once it reaches GA.

The only real issue with X410 is that the X session gets killed on sleep, but at this point I've grown very used to this. πŸ˜„

so apparently thanks to Microsoft, it's finally the year of the Linux desktop?

yes. I'm following a podcast (Coder Radio) where one of the hosts (both are linux fans) predicted that Microsoft is a bigger "threat" (in the sense that you won't install bare linux) to linux on the desktop than Apple right now because of WSL

and he may be right. What an irony

it's a weird world

In 10 years from now they'll be fighting over which OS provides the best out of the box Clojure experience.

ClojureOS obviously
