  AMD is proud to be a part of the democratization of machine learning with the upcoming addition of GPU-accelerated #ML training in Windows on a broad range of #DirectX12 GPUs. Learn about this exciting initiative @Microsoft announced at #MSBuild: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/ .…

  Fascinating to see Microsoft open up the DirectX 12 API surface to Linux apps running on Windows 10 https://devblogs.microsoft.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...

  DirectX is coming to the Windows Subsystem for Linux https://devblogs.microsoft.com/ ... No. It is not for Linux desktop to play games. It is for developers to run ML/AI stuff.

  Perhaps I was too conversative with my 5 years estimate for Windows becoming a Linux distro 🤣? https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...

  Oh wow, WSL2 can now run full Linux GUI apps with GPU acceleration as well. Wild https://devblogs.microsoft.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...

  Big if true! I wouldn't need to dual boot anymore. https://www.theverge.com/...

  Microsoft: “we were wrong about open source”, Microsoft has embraced open source and even Linux in recent years https://www.theverge.com/... > It has been amazing to walk through this open-minded transformation @eglinsky @DiegoBek @scopeta @amartino @mfelman https://twitter.com/.…

  So... What can this potentially mean for me? Does this mean Wine is gonna be available *and* hardware accelerated? Because Wine supports Win16 applications iirc. So potentially this means an easily accessible way of running Win16 stuff on my 64 bit Windows machine, right? https:/…

  Now I can finally run Konqueror on Windows. The year of the Linux desktop is finally upon us https://twitter.com/...

  I was going to make some joke like “you can run all your favorite Linux GUI apps, such as... Wine!” but having access to the GPU actually is a really big deal for reasons unrelated to GUI so ok I guess I don't have a joke https://twitter.com/...

  Microsoft is turning Windows into Linux. I am confusion. https://twitter.com/...

• @tomwarren Tom Warren on x

  Microsoft is bringing Linux GUI apps to Windows 10 and GPU hardware acceleration support. Some really solid improvements coming to WSL for developers. Details here: https://www.theverge.com/... https://twitter.com/...
