    ChatGPT - give me an example of what an insufferable Linux elitist would say about wsl.

    “This article is not for Linux experts. If you are one and have a Windows machine (main reason is gaming), I hope you are using Debian for WSL and not Ubuntu.”

    “if you’re a Linux expert, this article isn’t for you. You’re probably already using Debian if you use WSL”

    As a Linux expert - yep! My distro choice under WSL is Debian, for the same reasons shared in the article.

      What reasons? They gave reasons? They just said that windows fixes the flaws Debian has which is quite the “compliment”.

    Ubuntu in WSL comes with systemd enabled. Debian doesn’t, and you have to enable it yourself.

    That’s why I chose to have people use Ubuntu in WSL, despite the other downsides. One less step to setup a Linux environment on Windows makes the process smoother.

      That’s a fair enough reason. I personally never noticed because the “this isn’t running” message is pretty clear to me. But I can see how that’s a potential blocker for new Linux users.
