[06:49] <ducasse> good morning
[21:54] <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
[21:55] <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.
[21:56] <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
[21:57] <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
[21:58] <Bashing-om> leftyfb: https://news.softpedia.com/news/kde-applications-start-conquering-the-windows-10-world-529149.shtml .
[22:02] <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.
[22:07] <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.
[22:08] <Bashing-om> leftyfb: Yhe world is changing and MS is adapting :P
[22:09] <Bashing-om> The*
[22:09] <leftyfb> it's better than how they used to react
[22:09] <leftyfb> good for them
[22:10] <Bashing-om> leftyfb: Seems the cloud is the driving force.
[22:11] <leftyfb> and mobile
[22:11] <leftyfb> the desktop OS is becoming less important
[22:12] <Bashing-om> leftyfb: Yeah - desktop is becoming a thing of the past - PDAs are it - But I stick with my ole desktop. :P
[22:37] <popey> leftyfb, no, currently snaps don't work out of the box on WSL2 because systemd
[22:46] <popey> oerheks: what would you prefer i tweet about from the snapcraft account, out of interest?
[22:47] <oerheks> any short announcement about a snap, and preferably the short snap install <package> with that.
[22:47] <oerheks> i like the games most
[22:48] <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
[22:52] <popey> i do like sdlpop
[22:53] <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
[23:12] <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.
[23:13] <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
[23:14] <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 :)
