| [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 :) | |
