[–] mimixco 5y ago ↗ MS will entirely "featurize" Linux as just another part of Windows, and thereby finally solve the problem of Linux on the desktop. [–] daly 5y ago ↗ No, it won't solve the problem.Microsoft remotely reboots your computer about once a week whether you want that or not. They only care about their updates. Your work has no value.On the other hand, I have a linux box that's been running for YEARS without a reboot. I work on it every day.If you value your time, your work, or your money, don't use Microsoft. [–] mimixco 5y ago ↗ The rebooting stuff is horrible; I completely agree. But MS has won the desktop and featurizing Linux means Linux devs will be able to write Windows apps and no one will care.
