I disagree.

They are on front page of HN with "zed on Linux is here". We got to have some standards, don't you think?



One could easily reply an equally snarky answer of “Use a real OS, not MSFT spyware. We got to have some standards, don’t you think?”


WSL is a pretty niche version of "Linux". I would guess that close to 0% of what makes it to the front page of HN had a QA team that explicitly tested it on WSL.


niche?

WSL (all distros combined) is the 2nd most popular Linux environment. Only behind Ubuntu.

Please stop making up facts.

1 of 7 Rust developers use WSL: https://blog.rust-lang.org/2024/02/19/2023-Rust-Annual-Surve...


I’m pretty sure there’s more than 7 Rust developers.


Maybe the Rust community and Windows users have a smaller intersection than let's say Windows and Ubuntu?


It's pretty self-evident that Linux support can't be expected to mean Windows support. If something is broken in the Windows simulation of a Linux GUI stack you should be complaining to Microsoft, not to the developers of a program that works fine in a normal environment.
