Gonna try Windows Subsystem for Linux (a.k.a. GNU/NT) on my office laptop.
Ubuntu 18.04 installer is about 200MB, while Debian 9 installer is about 75MB.
What am I missing out on by installing Debian instead of Ubuntu? I'm leaning towards Debian because it seems it's gonna be more lightweight.

>>417879 Can't. We're all on Windows where I'm working. Also I'm not with IT there.

I suggest using Debian, just make sure you use the "experimental" version which has the newer versions for software, also you may need to look for the version that includes extra drivers depending on your hardware.
Ubuntu on the other hand could be a lot easier to install for dual-booting, I think the installer even includes a big button for that.

>>417915 I believe they specifically want to use the wsl or running Linux inside windows, so dual booting probably doesn't matter, I believe the Ubuntu in the store is a fairly old release so I say try Debian because you can always uninstall it, also check out mintty for wsl if you don't want to work with the terrible windows terminal

>>417886 How did you made them? Oo No, seriously: Before I make children I make sure that I and my partner can feed them without sucking microcock or apple dicks. Also I don't want to raise children in a world ruled by these companies.

>>418207 Ok, please allow me to go back in time and unmake them.
I was just kidding to make a point btw. I don't have kids.

>>418271 The point being>>417881 is such an impractical non-answer, it's basically on the level of a platitude
