My windows friend's actual reaction to me switching over to Linux.

Tell him that you have the high ground.

Hahaha I laughed out loud, thanks!

Wait a few years and ask again!

Anakin was prophesied to balance the force, which is what he did. Destroying the other side isn't balancing, dummy. Lern2maf

High ground!

That's more like Canonical spreading the Ubuntu Bash on Windows 10. I think Bash and other GNU tools should be exclusive to POSIX compliant / Unix-like OSes.

@Scrumplex I love bash on windows 10

@dontbeevil nope I won't. I will just look for an alternative.
Did that for several programs.
I run nearly only Free Software. The only propietary software I use is my graphics driver and Steam.
And if something is free and open source, the probability of it being available for Linux is pretty high.

@dontbeevil And if you really really want GNU tools on Windows, use MinGW.

@dontbeevil fair enough
