http://techcrunch.com/2016/03/30/be-very-afraid-hell-has-frozen-over-bash-is-coming-to-windows-10/ “The native availability of a full Ubuntu environment on Windows, without virtualization or emulation, is a milestone that defies convention and a gateway to fascinatingly unfamiliar territory,” Canonical founder Mark Shuttleworth said in a statement today. “In our journey to bring free software to the widest possible audience, this is not a moment we could have predicted. Nevertheless we are delighted to stand behind Ubuntu for Windows, committed to addressing the needs of Windows developers exploring Linux in this amazing new way, and excited at the possibilities heralded by this unexpected turn of events.”

Will they open up the Windows Performance Counters under /proc though? That would be pretty neat.

Rivethead posted:meh. wake me when it has kornshell. serioustalk: the hard part is not bash, but getting any unix shell working on windows. windows literally has none of the features required by a unix shell: very different terminal control, no forking, no process groups, no sessions, no signals, subtly different pipes the hard hard part is maintenance though. even if it becomes a community project, it will always require a degree of cooperation/support from microsoft to keep making sense in a world where cygwin already exists. all previous attempts failed either because microsoft wanted them to fail (netbsd for example required the unix subsystem to run on windows, which was an optional component and not available in all windows editions), or because nobody wanted them to succeed hard enough (gentoo had a windows port for a while, it could work without the unix subsystem too, but it was just a cool toy nobody cared about) it will probably be impossible to mix unix and windows code freely and this will spell its death, like with all previous attempts. we'll probably get a linux environment that poorly integrates with the native windows environment and will be best kept separate. probably not, who knows

Jenny Agutter posted:will this make it easier/possible to browse ext3/4 filesystems on windows? I doubt it, you need a kernel mode driver for that, and the driver will be pretty much forced to provide a windows-like view of the filesystem because that's how the filesystem api works. and you need someone to make the driver and maintain it and I don't see microsoft making that commitment (and there are no credible open source filesystem driver developers around, last time I checked) MrMoo posted:Will they open up the Windows Performance Counters under /proc though? That would be pretty neat. I think a sysctl-like interface is a better fit for performance counters. we'll see what they think about it though
