Now that Ubuntu's bash is on Windows does it make more sense to install Python and Node.js through apt-get instead of downloading and installing the usual Windows binaries?

I'm asking because both Python and node.js are *nix first.

>ubuntu's blob (pardon me, I meant binary, so and maybe a?)
blob -> magic layer of API calls the right function in Windows blob (probably not the best one or in the best way, BECAUSE IT WAS COMPILED / WRITTEN TO LUNIX) -> windows blob
>window's blob (pardon, we call them exe and dll)
blob -> the right windows function (which was probably even designed to work with in the first place)
Really hard choice, you better ask management poor sysadmin. Also don't believe me any words, do benchmark yourself first.

I wouldn't use Python and Node.js to begin with if I cared about performance on my dev machine.
Brody Harris
Any way to add the oficial repo of ubuntu to the bash, i tried to install screenfetch and nothing.
Connor Nelson
what I mean is I only care about performance on the deployment servers. Overheads on my dev machine doesn't matter.
Kayden Ramirez
install gentoo

Bash on ubuntu on windows is shit m8. There is always some shit it cant download, sometimes apt cant detect things youve installed through apt making uninstalling things a mess, and no DE
Jose Turner
>no DE
that's a good thing though
William Nelson
Don't pretend. We are getting to a point where hardware will be cheaper than human labor.
You are just more comfy in Windows for whatever reason. You should try:
Virtualbox
Install anybuntu
set shared folders
give to ubuntu new IP, set up servers that they take sources from shared folder and bookmark the new ip in browser.
unless you are debbuging your server runtime directly from IDE (I don't even know if you can do this with node.js), you should be comfy without dualbooting and forcing yourself to hostile GNU world.

Why would you want German localization in bash?
Jace Morales
Should i inhale or exhale now, i just dont know, the thread.
Angel Ramirez
You can install your DE of choice and operate it through Xming, not sure why you would want that though

I don't get it
Why is Bash on Ubuntu on Windows?
Why not Bash on Windows or
Bash on GNU+Linux on Windows
Why are they packaging this with Ubuntu? Is it because it's the most recognizable linux distro?
What is the executable even? Is it like live software where its the linux kernel and the only program we have is bash?
I'm so confused wtf is Microshit doing
Thomas Lopez
I know. Im commenting on its current state as OP is probably looking to do what he wants now. Are you dumb?
Dylan Turner
Why not Cygwin?
Owen Gray
It is literally Ubuntu, they worked with Canonical to get it working.

Bash requires Linux, isnt?
But deploying Linux vanilla is a pain, also it would require Microsoft to maintain it.
But if they use Ubuntu LTS, the Linux is already there, they just need to port it.
Why Ubuntu? Because it's the most popular distro out there.
Thomas Gonzalez
how could you do that?
Isaiah Sanchez
>and no DE
doesn't windows come with explorer for you
