in this area I agree with previously mentioned opinions that: " WSL can
only help entrench the dominance of proprietary software like Windows,
and undermine the use of free software"

and it is known that my opinion is also that Microsoft is EVIL.
So, I guess this means my opinion would be that WSL is evil.

and I think, as you would need windows to use WSL, I do not know how
useful this is for a Linux Users Group.

maybe the people keen on Windows and Microsoft issues and support can
start a Windows WSL support mailing list or something similar?

If this group becomes a windows users group by supporting, or receiving
WSL posts, I guess I would consider unsubscribing from it as it will be
an even greater waste of my time and bits than it seems to becoming now.
