Ew, you made me actually read the article.

Canonical’s VP of Engineering says Ubuntu’s user base inside Windows Subsystem for Linux is growing significantly faster than its native desktop user base, and he expects WSL to overtake native Ubuntu installations within months

And there it is, right in the opening sentence: the bullshit trying to make windows look good somehow. Feels like entrapment. like how Google‘s AI answers are stealing actual click-throughs for the websites that are generating the answers people are really looking for.
