what's your thoughts about the new windows terminal thingy. Always ran Ubuntu on top of windows in a virtual machine cause college and stuff. but what do you guys think?

Nothing. Don't even care to try it out or see what it looks like

I don't really care about it. It looks nice sure. But in the past I have tried the WSL(or whatever) and it wouldn't work properly so a pretty looking terminal is meh

lol it's not just a pretty looking terminal. and no it's not yet available. but they are promising to include the Linux kernel INside windows.

It's bad enough having one OS to annoy me, let alone two!

@platypus 😂
so true

I haven't used WSL outside of just messing around, it doesn't offer me anything I can't already create in a VM.

I prefer VMs which are almost production replicas. I can foresee any issues with the stack earlier on this way and know that what I write will work on deployment.

@C0D4 woah didn't mean to go as far as production lol. just meant for like day to day usage or some libraries that are only on Linux. don't really know the use cases for that thing XD ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm quite interested in testing it (same with WSL 2.0), but more than the looks, I hope it feels good!

Would love to see what people will do with it too, since it's open source.

@Admin-who I have a mintOs vm for that. 😅

I'm not sure what WSL is set out to prove, it feels way to underwhelming to be of much use in my world.

@C0D4 for me just having built in ssh is enough 🙃

@Admin-who cmd / powershell have that. Just turn it on in additional features.

> ssh user@server.xyz

@C0D4 oooooo didn't know that. you sir just made my day.

@Admin-who 😱 and it's not even 6:30AM. Today looks like it's going to be a good day 😎

@C0D4 it's 22:22 here lmao. was a worse than usual day but you just made me really excited for tommorow's ssh. :)

Uh, if you're talking about WSL2, I like it. If you're talking about The new terminal thing, I think it needs some work.

I use only the GUI for os and apps 🙂

@Admin-who these windows guys be getting lazy .Now all theyll be doing is wait for the gnu community to update linux then they just copy that shit and call it theirs

@Obtus3 nope

I think it's lovely. The only annoying thing with using WSL is Microsofts horrific terminal window.

Will end up being replaced

@retnikt can you remind me last time MS used this? I'm quite sure was after Christ, but cannot remember the exact year
