They mean MS replacing the Windows kernel with Linux kernel. Which doesn't sound as crazy as it did just a couple of years ago. Just put all the Windows crap in a VM, similar to WSL2.


I dont understand how that would provide any benefit. First problem, all those lovely windows drivers for every piece of hardware and laptop ever made would need porting to Linux.


"Just put all the Windows crap in a VM" - if Windows such a crap why even mention it? Just put Linux on your PC and be happy.


There's a lot of Windows-only software out there that will exist regardless of how you feel about it.


Still waiting for the Linux desktop wonders to take over that crap.

Apparently Windows XP was going to do that, then it was Vista with its DX 10 drivers, then WinRT, then Win10,....

It takes time to replace the crap apparently.


This was the tongue in cheek implication of my comment. I’m a Linux user. But yeah Wine actually already does what I want. :)
