From the post:

>At its annual Build developer conference, Microsoft today announced that it is open sourcing the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), which allows developers to easily run Linux distributions inside of Windows. “We want Windows to be a great dev box,” Pavan Davuluri, the corporate VP at Microsoft in charge of Windows and devices, told me. “At the end of the day, a good dev box means a variety of different things. One of them has been just having great WSL performance and capabilities, so that it is a one-stop shop for our developers to live in the Windows-native experience and to be able to take advantage of all of what they need in Linux.”

There are ways to do PCI passthrough for gaming purposes and windowless mode. I had it working damn well at one point but that shit was so fragile that even minor updates would break the fuck out of it.

Thus, the dual boot for gaming. I hate it but I still like to do some gaming. That has been less and less interesting to me for a long time. Eventually it will either just work on Linux or I just wont give a fuck.
