What? No! There are nu GNU libs, no Linux kernel but DOS! They use NTFS and do you know by what cruel abonimation of a process they load shared libraries?? Have you ever tried to compile anything besides java in that monstrosity or even properly install a compiler without loosing the complete grasp on reality?
Ok replying to my super old thread now because I hadn’t been checking my inbox. I thought it would be clear that I’m referring to WSL, not the actual windows kernel. It’s tightly integrated enough that you effectively have the windows gui with a Linux shell running the distro of your choice, which is able to access all your windows files, compile and run services for development etc. IMO it’s a MUCH nicer experience than OSX precisely because it’s actual gnu+Linux instead of the crusty bsd stuff that comes with OSX.
Modern windows is Linux with a gui that can run windows apps, which is to say it’s actually pretty great imo
It most definitely is not, if you had said OSX I would let it slide because it’s slightly similar, but windows is exactly nothing like you said.

Anyway apologies for the confusion.
Windows 11 is Linux like my car is a Bluetooth headset.
I haven’t seen the linux packet managers which are absolutely essential on Linux…
The NT Kernel is not the Linux kernel. You never need to edit a registry in Linux and the default filesystem is just objectively better in Linux
