#2They should focus more on this kind of features, instead of paddling Copilot and AI every 5 minutes, or doing crazy stuff like removing the right Ctrl key to replace it with the new Copilot key. The only advantage of the latter is that is pushes more people to Linux faster.
If they just focus instead on developers ("developers! developers! developers!") and gamers, instead of AI gimmicks, things would be more peachy for them instead of being the most hated big tech company.

#3I was always under the impression that WSL was good on RAM - giving it back when not needed. There was never a way to tune RAM usage AFAIK.

Waaaaaay more people use Copilot than WSL. Like probably 100000x more.
Most businesses run everything on Windows and Microsoft. That's their business. They don't give a shit about Windows Home edition or nerds crying and switching to Linux. You're not their market.

Weird comment to make on a thread about exactly this kind of feature. They're a big organization with many people working on many different things. Some will maybe great while others will potentially suck.

Only if there's no person at the helm with some sort of... um... vision, they call it?

Unfortunately there are lots of devs stuck on windows, wsl is very popular.

If only Satya Nadella would dogfood the OOTB experience of Windows 11 and not whatever his IT departments set up for him, he'd probably throw his laptop out the window and fire half the Windows managers.

#9Releasing RAM is a much-awaited improvement and should make things smoother.

Stuck on corporate Windows, but WSL is verboten.
