All those jokes from years ago about systemd taking over home drives and config files suddenly feel kind of real

That one really threw me for a loop, never could have predicted that. When you look at it from 10,000 feet, WSL makes a ton of sense for Microsoft. Other than the nightmare that is Visual Studio, MS has really stepped up their game for developers and WSL is a big part of that. That being said, it's all about keeping you in the MS ecosystem, but as someone who is forced to use that ecosystem in my day job it is a much better experience than it was 5 years ago.

Valve's investment into WINE and DXVK is also something that has changed the landscape, as the improvements to running Windows games in WINE has brought in a ton of new Linux users. On the more "normie" sites like Reddit's /r/linux and such, you see more talk about Linux as a gaming platform then as a complete computing platform or programming environment.
