      A) OS advocacy is boring. Run what you like. B) The point about publicly using what you market if you market something are spot on.https://twitter.com/sysrich/status/907704971881324544 …

      What if you are presenting on WSL? Or some other compatibility layer?

      I think if you're the head of the *Linux* Foundation you should run Linux. Not via WSL or VirtualBox, but directly.

      No I mean doing a presentation about WSL. Should you try to run it in Wine?

      Not disputing that. You said "If you are [presenting at a Linux conference] run Linux" & I did what I always do: come up with an exception.

      The current head of the Linux Foundation gave a keynote at the Open Source Summit, which is run by the Linux Foundation, from a Mac laptop.
