it's not Linux on Windows, it's more like linux tools on Windows, which is close enough. If you wanted Linux on Windows, you only need a VM.
No, what's closed source is the link between bash and the Windows API. Which is not the same thing at all.
Not really. Cygwin kind of enables that, but this is completely different here. The bash implementation by Ubuntu and Microsoft has direct access to Windows' internal APIs. So for example top would show the running windows processes as it it was a "native windows" application.
it's for developers. They can use bash and package management from the command line. This is not for GUI apps.
They dont care about BSD, they care about having a POSIX OS under the hood.
Well it's also a matter of how it was compiled. COmpiling with GCC 5+ gives some additional speed-ups compared to GCC 4.8 (which may be used currently for ARM repositories).
There are merits in doing specific optimization flags compared to a generic compilation for all ARM devices, for example. Not sure it's REALLY worth it, but it could make things a little faster.
Yes, definitely. I am sick to my guts of Android and iOS, the famous OS'es made to do about nothing in the beginning and now expended far beyond their scope to try to replace desktops. No thank you.
Yeha, doctors don't care about treating pain in general because it's too complicated for them to find the root cause and they are not motivated enough to spend time for that.
What do you mean, development ? for emulators most of them are open source and can be ported.
The Pyra should be at least much more capable in that regard so I dont think full speed emulation of 3DO would be a problem anymore.
I'm ready to order one when someone confirms the battery life is not much worse than any other tablets out there. I really hope they did something about that.
WeeChat is a well known ncurses-based IRC client for those who love CLI apps. I have noticed it was missing on the pandora so I compiled it. I find it faster than all other IRC clients we have out there, and personally I don't need any GUI to do stuff like IRC. I'd recommend you give it a go...
