Even within MS Azure Linux is at odds because it is not working in WSL out of the box. Folks had to port stuff to AZL away from ubuntu but without an easy path to use WSL to continue development. Sure you could adopt it but there is something fundamentally fragmented if such an adoption vector is missing in WSL. Now this… why do I need AZL desktop?
I am more excited about WinUI Reactor than anything else. the gap between Compose/React thinking and XAML thinking is enormous, and Reactor just bridges it. I am curious about interoperability - how would one include a Reactor-based component into existing WinUI 3 app? how would one include a XAML-based control from some other library into a (future) modern WinUI Reactor app?
Great work! I really hope it can be designed to be agent-friendly. The current CodeX/Claude code sandbox functionality is very limited; it would be wonderful to use this as a sandbox.

someone once said - windows will die or will be killed by Microsoft - when they start pushing a windows flavored linux distro.
with all the arm chips coming into consumer hardware - seems we are about to be there.

Don't be, if the WinUI team past performance is anything to come by.
They will leave it half baked like everything else since Project Reunion was announced in 2020.

The year of the Linux desktop.
Meanwhile I’m stuck on macOS for work. Oh the irony.

I use bubblewrap inside Ubuntu inside WSL. https://github.com/nix-tools/bubblebox
That’ll be deprecated in 6 months. Nope.
This is not official.
Azure Linux 4.0 is the next version of Azure Linux (duh), and WSL base distro.
