It was always just about Windows... and it failed

Professional update: I am moving to the @Rancher_Labs team at @SUSE to help improve the Windows Containers experience there. I am very excited to take my unique set of Windows/Linux skills and become more active in the Kubernetes community.
One thing less to worry about inside Canonical

Summary: The era of WSL is ending; adding a small "g" to acronyms (rather than just version inflation and DirectX) won't save or salvage the failure WSL has been for nearly half a decade (appalling adoption rates)

VISTA 10 is "Linux" OS

Blame Microsoft when Windows Update makes a mess Freedom means less and less When Microsoft can kick your system in the ass

"When Microsoft can kick your system in the ass"WSL going to Hell Hayden Barnes on his sword fell (yes, he left Canonical!) Lies about 'success' the media will still tell But just like a corpse this thing will always smell ⬆

"If you can’t make it good, at least make it look good."
