Great! Now does it support SECCOMP yet?
We do implement (at least some of) prctl(), but not seccomp() yet. If this is important to you, please file a bug and the team will triage & respond.

#192Awesome! Just compiled latest emacs with-lucid + xming and I have emacs running pretty nicely. Well Done!
Re: Bash and Windows Subsystem for Linux Demo [video]
#193Not since Windows 2000 have I been so interested in an upgrade to a new Windows release. Only at work do I have to suffer through Windows, but this would make things much nicer there. I hope/pray that readline and/or editline work correctly on bash et al? Do Windows CI services like Appveyor support WSL? If so I would hope that deploying to windows for lots of high level software is relatively painless. Head scratche…

I think visual studio code is what you're looking for.

#194Earlier quoted context omitted.
So VS can do C/C++ compilation now. I wonder if they will extend VS to work with other higher-level languages like Ruby and Python (et. al.) ? It would be nice to work from Windows but build for Linux that way, for other languages too.
Uh.... VS has always been able to do C/C++ compilation. Like... for decades now? Just not with the standard Linux toolchain, but you've always been able to build C/C++ projects on Windows.
Not only that, but Visual Studio is based off Visual C++ in the first place.

@OhSoHumble: We totally hear you. We'd love to ship WSL builds uncoupled from the rest of the OS, but at the moment, we're developing WSL at a breakneck pace alongside several other critical kernel feature changes which all have to ship in lock-step. A good example of this is the work we've been doing with the networking team to add additional network socket mode support to the NT kernel's networking stack so that we…
That's good to know. Maybe I'll try to use Windows as a development platform when it has another major release. I'm really impressed that WSL exists at all. I didn't think Microsoft had it in them to allow such a project to flourish. At the end of the day, however, I really hate writing code on Windows. I don't write much Java or C#, instead sticking to Elixir, Ruby, Python, Node, and Golang. Every time I try to use…
As far as the console "getting better" - it's getting better with every release. This last release we focused on enabling full 256color/24 bit color support, and enabling VT mouse mode, to better support terminal applications. Not only that, but we've also been working constantly on performance enhancements under the hood. IIRC, before AU, we would try to repaint the frame every character, now they're aggregated to 60 FPS. It's getting better, not terribly quickly, but we're getting there :)

#196If ranger and cmus run I will sadly be living in Windows alot more.
Re: Bash and Windows Subsystem for Linux Demo [video]
#197Any news about 256-color support? I understand the desire for the extreme backwards compatibility, but it requires some manual magic done to display things properly in fish (which, thankfully, works really well with Bash on Windows after the aforementioned magic), and even then it will only support 16 colors.
It might work in ConEmu. As for the native Windows console, I wouldn't hold my breath, considering that that'd be rather incompatible with the current framebuffer and would probably require a lot of new Windows APIs.
I am using ConEmu, so that works. Thanks!

Yes, we support every color sequence there is now, for full 256color/24bit color support. At this point, I believe the terminal emulation is pretty close to complete, so if you notice any other shortcomings, make sure to take a look at or GH page for issue reporting: https://github.com/Microsoft/BashOnWindows/issues
Awesome, thank you guys!

> The demo clearly shows the shebang line mashed in with the rest of the file contents. Demoer specifically comments that it's broken (obvously CR/LF differences) and they're fixing it. Also VS Code for Windows might have been a better example than Notepad but you get how this could be useful.
I was so split as to whether to show Notepad or Code, but figured that more people were aware of Notepad and would grok what I was trying to demo so went that way. Plus it nicely demonstrates one of Notepad's key weaknesses to help drive awareness with the Notepad team ;)
There's really a Notepad team?

#200Does this work with OpenGL transparently? If I write an a program that uses OpenGL on Linux will I be able to run it on windows without any modification?
