> WSL was implemented to avoid the gradual loss of users, most of them being developers, to Linux.

They're bleeding users to MacOS, Linux desktop installs is a rounding error.



Been seeing a lot more developers jumping from mac to Linux and even windows lately. If something more competitive to M1 comes from amd and Intel we should expect the trend to continue. I think the tide is moving the opposite direction now than 10 years ago.


The software for those 10% desktop users has to be written by someone.

The only developers jumping ship are the ones that only care about POSIX, no matter where it is available.
