U-Eric S. Raymond kuyinto endala omaziyo emhlabeni wokugenca kanye nomthombo ovulekile. Yize ayefuna ukubamba iqhaza ekwakhiweni kwe-Linux kernel futhi ikhodi yakhe yenqatshwa, akufanele ikhohlwe ukuthi ungumsunguli wemisebenzi efana ICathhedral neBazaar. Futhi namuhla akuyona izindaba zanoma ikuphi kwalokho, kepha kwezinye izitatimende asanda kuzenza mayelana Windows 10 neLinux.
Uzokwazi I-WSL (I-Windows Subsystem yeLinux), okusho ukuthi, ungqimba lokuhambisana olwenziwe yiMicrosoft ukuze ikwazi ukusebenzisa isoftware yeLinux ngokwendabuko kuWindows 10 nakuWindows Server 2019. Iphrojekthi esekwe ku-Windows Subsystem ye-Android eyaziwa njengeProject Astoria yeWindows Mobile. Le phrojekthi iguqukile futhi njengamanje isekela izinhlelo zokusebenza zemifanekiso ...
Yebo, u-Eric S. Raymond ucabanga ukuthi kuzoba nohlobo oluthile lwe- "LSW" noma I-Linux Subsystem Windows. Okungukuthi, ungqimba lokuhambisana ongasebenzisa ngalo isoftware ye-Microsoft Windows ngaphezulu kwe-Linux kernel. Okuthile okuvele kuhloswe ngeWayini, kepha kuhlanganiswe ku-kernel uqobo njenge-WSL.
U-Eric S. Raymond uyakucabanga lokho ngeke kube yisikhathi eside ukuthi kwenzeke lokho. Emuva ngo-2002 wathi iWindows ngeke ibe yinjini ethembekile yokwenza inzuzo yeMicrosoft uma amanani entengo ehlele ngaphansi kwama- $ 350 futhi manje ubona ukunqoba kweLinux njengoba efake kubhulogi yakhe:
«Abathuthukisi beMicrosoft manje bafaka izici ku-Linux kernel ukuthuthukisa i-WSL. Futhi lokho kukhomba kusiqondisi esithakazelisayo sobuchwepheshe. Into emayelana nemidlalo ukuthi iyisivivinyo sokufuna ukucindezelwa esidinga kakhulu esingavela kusendlalelo sokulingisa seWindows, kakhulu kakhulu kunesoftware yebhizinisi. Kungenzeka ukuthi sesivele sisendaweni lapho ubuchwepheshe obufana neProton buhle ngokwanele ukusebenzisa isoftware yebhizinisi leWindows kuLinux. Uma kungenjalo, sizobe sesiseduze. Abathengisi be-software abavela eceleni bayayeka ukuthumela ama-binaries e-Windows bethanda ama-ELF binaries nge-Linux API emsulwa… bese i-Linux ekugcineni iwina impi yedeskithophu, hhayi ngokususa iWindows, kodwa ngokuyithatha. Mhlawumbe lokhu kuhlala kuyindlela obekufanele kube yiyo.»
Uyazi ukuthi u-Eric S. Raymond kwesinye isikhathi uyaphikisana kakhulu emicabangweni yakhe, ngakho-ke ungaba owahlulelayo noma ngabe uqinisile noma cha, ngoba abanye ochwepheshe bacabanga okuphambene nalokho, nokuthi iWSL ingasusa iLinux ...
Ngaphandle kokungabaza, abalandeli beLinux bayajabula ngalokhu kuhambisana okungaba khona, ngoba isoftware yezinkinga zabasebenzi esebenza kuWindows kuphela, ingasebenza ePenguin yethu ethandekayo, ngaphandle kokuphoqa ukuthi sibe nohlelo olufakelwe lokho, yize zonke izinhlanzi ezihambayo zinayo, akujabulisi abathandi bemithombo evulekile.
