Even 10 years ago, this would've been unthinkable. Never would I have ever thought Microsoft would oublish a guide on instanjing Linux.

but... but i thought linux was communism?!

Great, does it still stomp over the MBR when you try to dual boot? Fix that first.

Will Microsoft stop to undermine hardware interoperability with their sucky API, closed implementation and co ?

I don't mind Windows as long as the hardware platform remains "open"

It wasn't published September 29th, it was updated then.

It was published back in March. All these pages are on github where this can be verified: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/linux/commits/main/docs/install.md

Actually, the guide doesn't mention how to dual boot, it's how to install Linux bare metal as the only os.

Otherwise they wouldn't have removed the possibility to easily boot Linux from the windows boot manager instead of grub

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.

I've heard talks that after each Windows update, you have to restore Grub config.

Not the case with me. Had dual boot for some time and never had to fix it... 🤷

not impressed, wanna see how to single boot linux and put windows in virtual machine as a guest

Pretty sure this means Linus won.
