First version: attempt to reimplement the windows API on top of Linux
Second version: give up and embed Windows inside a VM
Wait, wut?
He said Linux Subsystem for Windows, which I took to mean the opposite of Microsoft's Windows Subsystem for Linux
(for reference, look at the difference between WSL1 and WSL2)
Ah. Whoosh on me I guess.
Explain this to a really new linux user (me lol)
Most distros use systemd to manage deamons (mini apps that run in background / sevices) like e.g. Bluetooth.
(those stuff you have to enable sometimes (systemctl enable my-new-app.service)
You can use systemd-manager to check it out using a GUI
This meme tells „imagine if windows would port Systemd to windows. Winsvc stands for Windows Service
Wait there is a GUI for SystemD? I had no idea
No, but one for systemd
Is that actually different? My phone autocorrected it like that.
Linux is case sensitive, so yeah
also the creator of systemd went to work at mikrosoft
😮did not know that
Explain this to a long-time runit user... (Seriously, I'm lost)
Explain this to an OpenBSD rc user (there's no OpenBSDMemes)
Imagine if systemd was ported as the Windows init manager. (Memes about systemd being inspired by Windows with its bloat).
Thank you!
