Still wishing there was some equivalent to "sudo". The UX of running a priviledged window isn't quite there for me yet.

Been using the preview with WSL for a few weeks now, really like it. Feels more like a stronger *nix terminal than the Ubuntu app did.

Am I the only one thinking that MS is making those moves several years too late? I jumped out the MS ship 3 years ago and since I'm seeing a solid trend of dev and big companies doing the same.

Yes, totally. I've also migrated to Linux after decades of working on Windows.

Still, it's interesting development (nope, I won't be coming back).

I jumped back around 10 years ago disappointed that graphics programming wouldn't never be a thing on GNU/Linux, and I am still doing pretty alright there are lots of Windows only shops, or those that do Java on a mix of Windows/macOS (as per IT offerings) and deploy on whatever server runs an JVM.

microsoft is trying to catch up. and they will probably continue trying until they succeed, or until their whole operating system is based on linux.
