Microsoft wants you to install Linux
Mission Accomplished.
I delayed Linux on the main computer for years for the kids' video games and trying to give MS a chance when they were trying to be good (WSL2, Win10 forever, etc.)
Now when I start the machine in windows, a splash screen comes up and literally tells me to buy a new computer. Linux has been lovely.
WSL(2) was not Microsoft "being good". It was part of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.
It was clear Linux won in the server world (not IIS). So why don't you run this lovely Linux as an app in our nice safe OS where we can keep milking you.
