WSL VS UTM

👉 Baixar WSL 2.3.24 (MSI)

Microsoft's DirectX C++ example code needs to interact with DirectX' C APIs. That will easily lead to "C with classes" C++ when most of the code is interacting with foreign APIs, like these API demos do.

I think open-source software like https://github.com/microsoft/WSL is probably more representative of what modern C++ companies look like. Plenty of files that just interact with OS C APIs, but no shortage of modern C++ features in use.

Microsoft continues to be a major contributor to open source and announced a couple major projects moving from closed-source to the open on GitHub. The first is a long-time coming project, the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). I first used WSL to port a Java stack to Windows. That stack was a nightmare to run on Windows due to a team optimizing for macOS workflows but we wanted to enable new developers to use standard Windows dev machines and stop requiring expensive macOS hardware for a cross-platform native toolchain like Java. Today, WSL is a major part of the Windows developer experience. And now, Microsoft is open-sourcing WSL to allow the community to contribute and innovate on the project on GitHub.

Is there a way to push this without tripping the corporate auto-close bot?

If you are running Microsoft Windows, I want to advise one more prerequisite step that you need to take before getting started with Python or uv: install the Windows Subsystem for Linux, also known as WSL2. Do not, for the love of all that is good and holy, try and install Python tooling directly in Windows; install WSL first. This guide outlines all the steps you need to take to get started, though I recommend downloading WSL from the Releases page on Github instead of from the Microsoft Store as advised in Step 3.

In case others were similarly confused, I thought that UTM was commercial but it is Apache 2 https://github.com/utmapp/UTM/blob/v4.6.5/LICENSE

UTM runs virtual machines on iOS and has been around a while: https://getutm.app

Issue is that Apple doesn’t allow apps to run JIT so if you want the JIT version of UTM, you need to sideload or Jailbreak. The non-JIT version is on the App Store.

UTM.

> These sources also pointed to Apple’s new iPad Pro models, which feature OLED screens, as evidence that an OLED screen alone isn’t enough to guarantee more sales. Several analyst forecasts have downgraded new iPad Pro shipments from 10 million units to six or seven million units.

OLED M4 iPad Pro won't sell until Apple enables virtualization.

  iPads do launch the kernel in EL2, but they don’t enable the hypervisor.

I have that Magic Keyboard and would love to have the option to run real Linux via https://getutm.app/. The iPad is fully capable of this, but it is a pain because you have to jailbreak it. Ugh.
