Today we’re very excited to announce the open-source release of the Windows Subsystem for Linux. This is the result of a multiyear effort to prepare for this, and a great closure to the first ever issue raised on the Microsoft/WSL repo:

    2000 people, 3k+ devices and one dude wants a Linux laptop.

    Not happening 😀

    But it did work in a smaller company of around 30 people, mostly because the IT guy was a Linux user too

      Well I worked for a while at a large international corporation that maintained (and AFAIK is still continuing) a managed Linux system, which worked well enough. And there where a lot more people, especially the people that were the most productive, interested in it.

      Sure that might have just been a nice island inside the larger company, but the people there were the internal consultants, which often had to pull other projects out of the gutter.

      If you over your specialists ways to use the tools they need, you will improve the whole company.
