I’ve said this before but I believe windows will merge Linux into it before too long. It’s starting with WSL. It’ll be hybrid OS eventually
You can already run basically any Linux application, even graphical ones, on Windows through WSL. But at that point, why would you even keep putting up with Windows?
Suppose you work maintaining both Windows and Linux infrastructure, having both in one OS is useful.
Or if you want Windows for gaming, not having to reboot is nice.
However, I've been Linux only for >10 years now, so I obviously don't see any value in WSL. I tried it a few times and it was neat, but ultimately not something I care about.
It's handy if you have use windows for something and you keep having to look up bloody powershell equivalents for bash commands.
