Cygwin is SLOW.
WSL must have significantly less overhead than cygwin to be so fast.
WSL is lighter weight and more complete, offering the userland of multiple distributions.
It's weird and all but you can't beat the native Linux support:P
Why did Unity sign a partnership with a company that was supposedly violating the ToS?
It didn't. TFS left out the part where Unity changed their ToS in order to create the situation.
The problem is not screen time, it's unmoderated screen time without an overarching purpose.
When I was a child in school, the schools were in the process of upgrading from aging Apple II systems to newer Macintosh systems. We had decked out Apple II labs in the elementary school and the middle school, alongside the newer Mac lab in the middle school. The Apple II systems booted off the floppy disks that contained the programs we were using them for. When in use these systems were effectively dedicated to a singular task. There was a wide array of edutainment software (RIP MECC) that turned learning into simple games that were *fun*. Education was not solely provided through these instruments, but they were an additional tool to provide more framework for learning. There was no world wide web connection on the Apple II. We weren't introduced to that nonsense until middle school, after we had experienced focused task usage on the earlier machines.
I believe this progression to be incredibly important and totally lost on the people who design modern educational tools using technology.
I would argue that GittyMcGitFS, because it is like "Boaty McBoatFace", meets the criteria. That you are denying the greater context to make an argument about context.
It hurts. I started on early Macs and branched out to everything from them. Saw how elegant and capable they were before ever engaging in platform wars. I owned multiple older Mac workstations that were loaded with expansion capabilities. There were models with built in PCs on daughterboards for compatibility with the Wintel world. You could upgrade entire processor generations with expansion cards.
The Macintosh was Rad as Fuck.
Now I'm using Linux built in to my Windows and loving it, what happened to this world?
The important difference lies in the variety of input. Do not discount the importance of the fact that machine learning is explicitly such tailored subsets and the generalized identification you are witnessing in the human brain is going to take a lot more development. Do not discount the fact that you simply do not have the complete set of data that trained the human brain, and that the child living in this world most likely understood boats before you showed her the pictures.
We are building the machines that learn based on arbitrary input. To model and surpass the human models we are going to need to have neural network processors with similar breadth of data. Human intuition has a John Henry moment coming down the line.
Probably because you're a complete slob with tabs, it gets to effectively swap them out and manage them. Doesn't work so well with oodles of media rich documentation being flipped about madly.
My favorite tab management plugins only exist for Firefox, but I use Chrome as my workhorse browser because Firefox just can't handle large loads.
I have 32GB of RAM in my workstation. I did that because I was hitting the ceiling hard with anything less. When I use Firefox, even the 64 bit version, it starts breaking down as it reaches the 32bit memory barriers (2GB process image / 4GB address space) with larger numbers of open tabs. It grinds to a halt and often crashes. This is a serious pain for me because those tab management plugins would make handling my browser workload a hell of a lot easier.
Chrome works. If I'm doing browser platform stuff that requires I start pushing the limits of my hardware, it doesn't bat an eye.
I still love Firefox, but it never learned to scale.
I've been wondering how to pull WSL into this since I've been using it lately and it's working remarkably well.
Would someone argue that I'm using Microsoft GNU/Linux? It's so quaint.
It hasn't been GNU/Linux for a long time. There are too many alternatives for the GNU Operating System components. Look at all those micro distributions using Busybox to provide what GNU used to. GNU remains a nice package but it fell markedly short of what it was supposed to be.

We use the stars to navigate the land, the seas, and the sky.
We built a constellation of artificial stars that speak our gadgets use to locate themselves.
And now we're talking about using natural (as far as we know) pulsing stars as a constellation of stars that speaks to our gadgets, using them to locate themselves.
What I'm talking about is in no way science fiction. It's the plainly visible, natural advancement of technology.
Talk about ignoring the last half century of history.
We have probes at the farthest edges of the solar system.
We have needed this longer than I have been alive.
But all else is never equal, these contrived examples don't make your big engine rocket capable of landing and being reused.
The drawbacks of the old school of rocket design far outweigh any advantages going into the future.
That whole idea went out the window when social media became the source of the content.
Too many websites seem to expect us to pay them for content they stole themselves.

If Windows worked just fine with UNIX line endings, they wouldn't have waited until 2018 to patch support into Notepad...

Yes, that's how learning works.

I notice that you didn't list a desktop environment or web browser.
How many people do you think are using the GNU tools on a modern Linux?
