      It’s backwards lol. We want windows stuff to work in Linux so we have a stable system that can do everything we need, instead they gave us Linux on top the unstable pile of shit we all hate

          Nah, that’s what actual Linux distributions are for. Linux runs on almost every server and powers nearly the entire internet while Windows is used to play fancy video games.

            Linux runs on the majority of webservers. If you were to look at the usage breakdown of servers in general, Windows would probably be more common, by what I’d imagine would be a wide margin. I’ve never in my life seen an enterprise run anything internally besides Windows Server with Active Directory and a majority fleet of Windows workstations. There isn’t really a viable alternative.

            Linux is definitely a go-to as a web server, load balancer, or some other appliance, but behind that a lot of the time are a bunch of Windows Servers as well.

                I was doubting the fact that the only function of windows is to run video games. Literally every business in the world runs on windows PCs

                  Because it’s traditional. Businesses adopted computing in the 80s, and Linux wasn’t around then. Macs and Windows were. It would just be too costly (in time obviously, not cash) for huge businesses to switch at this point.

                I feel like that should be incredibly obvious, why would you want to run Windows on a web server outside of incredibly niche situations.

        I think you perchance have a very poor understanding of OSes, their history, the purpose of Windows and “Linux”, and the purpose WSL serves.
