minus-squareMarcellusDrum@lemmy.mlMlinkfedilinkarrow-up24·2 years agoCounting Android is just lying. ChromeOS and WSL are a stretch, but you can make an argument for them.
minus-squarewoelkchen@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8arrow-down1·2 years agoLinux kernel is Linux kernel. Few desktops run Android, though.
minus-squarefmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoWSL definitely. It’s a gateway drug I’ve peddled to many a developer.
minus-squareZiro@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·edit-22 years agoThis is why I had to switch. It was just too clunky to get CUDA and Pytorch and Tensorflow set up in Windows. In Linux, it was a total breeze. Edit: And then I thought, “well, wouldn’t it be great if I didn’t have to use Windows to use Linux?”
minus-squarefmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoYup. First comes WSL, then comes a VM, then comes the good stuffs.
