What is this thread about, it says here on the top: [Log in to get rid of this advertisement]
And then I login, and advertisement is still here. I guess this rule's not relevant anymore, these days.
elcore, A posted URL is different then an embedded advertisement within the webpage itself.
Okay, but it's still an ad for some container that can't be hosted on slackware, and can't even contain a slackware install.
Is this ad relevant to slackware, only because the OP is regular here?
Cause I can't tell how it's any different than bots spam posting few lines of bait and malicious url.

It will be able to contain a Slackware install if and when Patrick so decides. It can already contain several other distributions. Example for Ubuntu. So the idea is potential Slackware users could try it very easily, without running the installer, directly from Windows. Even more so when running it in a GUI will be possible.

In fact, Monsieur Didier Spaier, WHY we should care about the Windows 10 things on this Linux Forum of Slackware?
In fact, Мистер LuckyCyborg WHY should we not popularize Slackware among Windows 10 users? The firet step would be to provide an image of Slackware for WSL, THEN, we could use advertize it through a Microsoft channel.

Because seamless interoperability of software agnostic of the underlying operating system is a goal more worthy than the replacement of Xorg by Wayland.
If you want to try the WSLg you will need to put your Windows 10 into the dev channel updates mode. I am getting set up to try it and indeed it seems that one can perhaps run Slackware inside windows10 which might be ok.
