| oerheks | leftyfb, is there no snap in wsl ? | 21:54 |
| oerheks | :-P | 21:54 |
| leftyfb | :P | 21:54 |
| oerheks | just a sum of the snaps published on snapcraft twitter | 21:54 |
| oerheks | * besides a ton of graphics editors and mediatoys | 21:55 |
| leftyfb | interesting ... | 21:55 |
| leftyfb | Interacting with snapd is not yet supported on Windows Subsystem for Linux. | 21:55 |
| leftyfb | This command has been left available for documentation purposes only. | 21:55 |
| leftyfb | that's what I get from trying to install something from snap | 21:56 |
| leftyfb | snapd is installed though | 21:56 |
| oerheks | :-) | 21:56 |
| leftyfb | I wonder if WSL2 will support it. It's supposed to be running an actual kernel | 21:56 |
| leftyfb | I've been saying for over 10 years now, Windows should just be a DE on top of a linux kernel | 21:57 |
| leftyfb | I think it's going to happen some day | 21:57 |
| Bashing-om | leftyfb: https://news.softpedia.com/news/kde-applications-start-conquering-the-windows-10-world-529149.shtml . | 21:58 |
| leftyfb | it'll happen, just a matter of time. They're packaging a linux kernel with WSL2, they're running linux in their cloud stuff. They have a whole department dedicated to linux. | 22:02 |
| leftyfb | the trick is though, to still allow Windows applications to run natively, or close to it. Just making it all work on a linux distro isn't the solution or else people wouldn't have a reason to pay for it. Maybe support, but meh. | 22:07 |
| Bashing-om | leftyfb: Yhe world is changing and MS is adapting :P | 22:08 |
| Bashing-om | The* | 22:09 |
| leftyfb | it's better than how they used to react | 22:09 |
| leftyfb | good for them | 22:09 |
| Bashing-om | leftyfb: Seems the cloud is the driving force. | 22:10 |
| leftyfb | and mobile | 22:11 |
| leftyfb | the desktop OS is becoming less important | 22:11 |
| Bashing-om | leftyfb: Yeah - desktop is becoming a thing of the past - PDAs are it - But I stick with my ole desktop. :P | 22:12 |
| popey | leftyfb, no, currently snaps don't work out of the box on WSL2 because systemd | 22:37 |
| popey | oerheks: what would you prefer i tweet about from the snapcraft account, out of interest? | 22:46 |
| oerheks | any short announcement about a snap, and preferably the short snap install <package> with that. | 22:47 |
| oerheks | i like the games most | 22:47 |
| oerheks | sorta spammed #ubuntu with | 22:48 |
| oerheks | snap install 0ad jgalaxian scummvm glimpse-editor urban-terror micropolis liveforspeed ponysay bombsquad openspades os-runes liko-12 sdlpop warzone2100 hedgewars snap install 0ad jgalaxian scummvm glimpse-editor urban-terror micropolis liveforspeed ponysay bombsquad openspades os-runes liko-12 sdlpop warzone2100 hedgewars duckmarines spelunky pin-town sudoku-game boa xonotic openra ohmygiraffe | 22:48 |
| oerheks | oops, something is double | 22:48 |
| popey | i do like sdlpop | 22:52 |
| oerheks | and talk about the usage of snap; recently i learned about snap find --section | 22:53 |
| oerheks | snap find --section=games and so on | 22:53 |
| popey | yeah, that's handy | 22:53 |
| leftyfb | popey: yeah, I saw a post waking through getting snaps running on WSL2. Didn’t look too difficult but certainly not an out of box experience. | 23:12 |
| popey | I think the goal is to get that all working. | 23:12 |
| popey | We recently hired a developer advocate who works closely with Microsoft on this stuff, and we're hiring an engineer for it too. | 23:13 |
| leftyfb | Would make sense with all the focus on snaps | 23:13 |
| leftyfb | Any whispers of Microsoft adding their own x-server ? :) | 23:14 |
| popey | Dunno actually. I'm going to WSL Conf next month. I'll ask :) | 23:14 |
