Earlier quoted context omitted.

This may be obvious to you, and I am trying not to put words in your mouth. Linux and UNIX doesn't build tooling this way, because they believe that you make one tool to do one thing well, and these things you mention while related are not one thing. You'd use the OS as an IDE in this context. The mindset is changing over time, systemd, vscode, etc.

No they don't, this is cargo cult from UNIX FOSS community based on a famous book remark. No commercial UNIX has ever followed that mantra.

The article mentions trying USB boot media known to work with the Lenovo x13s… I wish there was a reference to that. I’d love to read an up to date report on how hardware support for that arm laptop is coming along.

> What's that I hear Hacker News and Reddit cry? "It's a Dev Kit for Windows, you moron!" That may be the case, but Microsoft "Loves Linux", and clearly has worked hard to make WSL2 available out of the box on these devices. If people start buying MS Dev Kits to run Linux CI agents on them this defeats the whole purpose of having a dev kit: getting more people to write programs on and for Windows 11 on ARM.
