Microsoft Surprises Linux Users

Published Date: 2018/08/11 by: DaVieS

Well in the past, if someone tells me Microsoft officially supports running a linux under Windows... well :)

Microsoft already changed their mind and Im like it!
Started with *Windows 10*, Microsoft Dropped Windows 8 "thing" very soon and bring on Windows 10. Not a question Windows 8 was a faulire. Thats All.

This article a bit outdated, but as I everyday talk people who are getting surprises hearing about these things.
As *nix sysadmin, When to use Microsoft Windows? When not?

So here we go .. Visual Studio Code, WIndows 10 with Linux Subshell, GIT?

My Friend just Could not believe that I can run Debian from Windows 10.

But I could not believe that he not knew the secret.
lead WSL. so this is how this thing called, you can enable WSL from powershell by entering the line below:

Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux

Then you can simply Install a distros from Windows Store for free Of Corse..

Pros: - Very powerfull for sysadmins/developers/devops when they are linux oriented, but stucked on Windows. - Say goodbye to DUAL-BOOT - Very effective for cross-platform compilation, because in subshell you can build for windows (mingw), and also you can run .exe files in linux (LOL) Cons: - Some glitches can occurs on terminal - This is a subshell, so hardware accesses or internal core functions maybe not working or different / like USB devices.

A Cross-Platform MS Product / FREE which definitely beats most of editors: Microsoft Studio Code

Yes they made something success, I hope that they will give up with Internet Explorer, Edge things and focusing these products which actually a great success.

Microsoft Visual Code is a lightweight, pluginable, developer friend rich-featured editor.
Support many languages as C/C++/PHP/ASP.

External Modules such as Platform-IO makes this simple editor as powerfull IDE & Compiler & Toolchain for IoT embedded stuffs like arduino.

What the next?

REDMOND, Wash. — June 4, 2018 — Microsoft Corp. on Monday announced it has reached an agreement to acquire GitHub, the world’s leading software development platform where more than 28 million developers learn, share and collaborate to create the future.
