I think I'm going to need more coffee to process this. Did I wake up in opposite land? Microsoft actually genuinely have a tutorial up on how to install Linux.
This week I learned that online version Microsoft Teams outright refuses to make calls of it runs on Firefox. They are doing the same exact shit they did two decades ago.
Huh, really? I'll have to try that out. I only use Teams on my work computer (Mac), but Linux at home. All of our interviews are over teams, so I wonder if that's an issue for our applicants.
I think Google maps does something similar with Firefox, where it won't zoom in with the mouse wheel--only the '+' and '-' buttons work. It also seems to lag quite a bit on Firefox. On chrome it works just fine.
We are now offering the MS Linux Introductory CD at a special introductory price of only $249.99 (plus shipping and handling), if you order before it ships.
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.
