WSA is really neat, especially the notification integration with standard desktop notifications well you do have to use Magisk + OpenGApps to actually get normal android on it, but once you do it's quite good and works p. well

Didn't the weather thing get removed in Windows 11? I actually missed it so I used ExplorerPatcher to both bring it back and replace it with Accuweather lmbo e: I still like WSA and WSL a fair bit, it's worth the hassle, plus there's gaming Private Speech fucked around with this message at 09:05 on Mar 31, 2022 |

Beeftweeter posted:lol, use busybox as your cmd interpreter and just call gcc directly or just use wsl + mingw or some clangy equivalent cygwin has a bunch of precompiled packages and it's quick and easy YMMV that's just what I've been doing since before WSL became a public thing again it's for messing about in windows using linux/posix utils, not as a compilation env, I do use WSL or VMs or docker for that e: busybox is fine and all but it's a bit finnicky and doesn't integrate as well with windows FS, it's fine for compiling things I guess Private Speech fucked around with this message at 08:40 on May 10, 2022 |

FMguru posted:w/r/t the current thread title use explorer patcher if you want to make it look like windows 10 in whatever ways, preferably the dev version it has more fixes after using that it's fine e: except for the missing tablet tiles mode and worse screen/hdr stability, that sucks especially for tablets and 2-in-1s, but I've made my peace with it e2: also VR is a bit spotty on 11 too Private Speech fucked around with this message at 08:38 on May 18, 2022 |
