Windows support yet?

Ah well

[baobun]

Windows is increasingly less of a viable platform for, well, anything. Time to pick a distro.

I don't know what it is about git but it really brings out the "Nuh uh, your use-case is wrong" talking points.

[pigeons]

I think you can pick from most of them via wsl2.

[rirze]

I would advise using WSL.

[diggan]

I think they're focusing on developers, most of which are either planning a move to something else, wishing they could move or have already left.

50% of devs use windows.

Personally, what dev related motivation I had to move to Linux disappeared when wsl got decent.

That said, 90% of my work is still in windows proper, so any universal tool like git related needs to support it to be any use.

And if not me, anyone else you're collaborating with.

[yjftsjthsd-h]

That feels like a contradiction; either WSL is a good solution and you can just run radicle there, or it isn't.

[jayd16]

Good enough in a pinch to prevent a switch but not good enough to do all your work in the wsl filesystem.

[packetlost]

WSL... filesystem? Either way, I firmly disagree, there are not many cases where I've been unable to do dev work on WSL. Only when I need particularly weird / specific networking or hardware (ie. GPU, which might work now) have I had significant problems.

[jayd16]

File IO from windows into the wsl disk and vice-versa is significantly slower so it's not great to, for example, use wsl git on a project living under your windows user directory or visual studio on a directory under your wsl home.

I think they're just using FUSE to make it work but don't quote me on that part.

[diggan]

> 50% of devs use windows.

Sure, not doubting that, I'm also a developer, and use Windows. But not because I want to, which I feel is a pretty common position to be in, at least around me.

[pessimizer]

The motivation you had to move to Linux evaporated when you started regularly using Linux, and it's important to consider Windows developers, for whom it's now easy to use Linux without completely moving to Linux.
