On: Dell’s gamble on Linux laptops has paid off

[LaGrange]

Ah, WSL. That sounds great. Docker works, let's try to edit something without messing up the permissions...

  $ git clone ssh://blahblahblah.space/repo.git
  [...]
  $ code repo

VS Code opens... C:\windows\System32. Because the contents of the VolFS contents aren't available to Windows applications. So, you have to use /mnt/c, which is using Windows permissions (so, everything ends up 0777 for example). That was disappointing.

Microsoft explicitly warns people in big red letters never to open any WSL files from Windows. I'm not sure if that will ever be possible.
