  1. @7:31 "I know there's WSL 2" Unless you do not have dedicated hardware to run Linux on bare metal, then why run Linux via Windows' WSL 2? If you run into a complicated, hard to pinpoint issue, is it the Linux kernel or is it WSL 2 that is the issue? Is that panic a Linux issue, or is it due to some interaction with WSL 2? If your project requires secrecy, why trust having everything get processed by the underlying Windows OS? And if speed it a priority, why have the Windows overhead? I suspect that Microsoft wants to squash their main rival: Linux. So they entice the Linux world to run Linux on Windows (might seem like a "cool" idea and fun). Then, when Microsoft believes that enough of the planet is dependent on Linux running via WSL 2, then Microsoft could announce that they are retiring support for WSL 2, and Linux goes down the drain. Imagine UPS having all packages be dependent upon Fedex. Imagine all GM motors be dependent on Honda parts. Imagine all Häagen-Dazs ice cream being dependent on Ben & Jerry's support. Why should people put their Linux eggs in Microsoft's basket? On my next computer, I am planning on using a Linux distro, so that I can divorce myself from all-things-Microsoft (I steer clear of spyware companies like facebook, google, and microsoft, and understand that using youtube goes against the grain). Once I get a Linux box, it will be liberating -- having my OS no longer spy on me. I cannot envision ever patronizing Microsoft, again. Cheers!
