Windows: What is my purpose?
User: You are a bootloader to install Linux.
Oh my god
“An expensive bootloader at that, but hey you already paid us when you bought your laptop thanks to our decades-old grip on the market, so we could not care less what you do next”
why not? it’s not like there is any competition.
Microsoft is making more money off Linux with Azure than several red hats combined.The performance speed between WSL, virtual machines, and bare metal Linux has become so close that few developers choose this method due to the overhead of needing to restart (reboot) your device any time you want to switch between the operating systems.
And there’s the attempt at discouraging you from going bare-metal.
I doubt that “few developers choose this” is true.
