It would be nice if we could add LilyDev to Windows Store.
Thanks for looking at this!
I have a few machines running Windows 10 Pro x64 version 1709. Ubuntu
installs nicely from the store. LilyPond seems to do fine on it.
Now, the systemd containers, like LilyDevOS. So far, I haven't been able
to get them working on WSL. It's a pity, because Windows Subsystem for
Linux only seems to allow for one instance of each version. If I
"customize" its Ubuntu beyond all recognition, I can't just fire up a
fresh copy for anything else that wants a "stock" Ubuntu. Those systemd
containers would REALLY come in handy here. What I've found so far:
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2017-November/039776.html
https://wpdev.uservoice.com/forums/266908-command-prompt-console-bash-on-ubuntu-on-windo/suggestions/32285233-systemd-nspawn-containers-need-cgroups?category_id=161892
That last link is a Microsoft Developer Feedback site. It allows
suggestions for features, and then voting for suggestions. This
container topic is a little crowded, though; more people seem to be
asking for Docker and LXC than for systemd.
Microsoft also has this Windows Subsystem for Linux project on GitHub.
Several systemd discussions there, this one seems the most promising:
https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/994
That place would probably offer more direct interaction with their
developers. But I know too little about Linux internals to really take
up an intelligent discussion there. CGroups? Namespaces? Never heard of
these things before.
