Windows 10 Creators Update
Just curious from the RE side.
Does anyone have any experience working with Windows Subsystem for Linux? Anyone actually have a HoloLens or good augmented reality toys to play with? Anyone squeezed any extra noticeable frames per second (FPS) out of this new update? Microsoft's total focus change towards Linux/Android and now gaming and virtual reality is really quite an interesting shift. Any other thoughts or comments? |

That was why I decided to put on hold for the time being. However I do have hope that it would be made stable very soon. Cheers |
wsl worked fine for me, its decent for standard dev stuff like compiling etc, but some things microsoft did restrict, so for a build system etc, now you dont need a vm or whatnot to cross compile, or to do (basic) tests

Yes, as I said, its good for the very basic stuff only.
For anything even slightly more advanced, I'd just boot up from a LIVE Linux OS USB/DVD and use :) - without even the need for a VM. |

For me, the 2 main limitations it currently has are:
- Not possible to pipe between Lxss and non-Lxss processes, or even between them unless triggered from within the Bash console itself: Code:
C:\>bash -c 'ls -l /mnt/c' | bash -c 'less' The whole "Bash" installation is under %LOCALAPPDATA%\Lxss\ but PE shows the running pid and process names and not much more. I believe Process Hacker has slightly more info but still extremely limited, as the kernel itself doesn't provide the info. For these reasons, when using Windows I mostly rely on Cygwin for the linux mixed-world stuff, as interoperability is far greater at least for the time being. And of course a full blown Ubuntu or CentOS for native environment when needed. |
