Hello, Blinux Folks: No doubt many of you are aware that the developer tools available on Microsoft's Windows 10, beginning with last year's so-called Anniversary Edition of Windows 10, include a reasonably sophisticated bash shell environment based on Ubuntu. Microsoft developed this environment in a contractual agreement with Canonical. So, with the appropriate Windows 10 install, one can now run various console apps under the Windows Terminal, including package management with apt, using NVDA or JAWS. I have it on good authority that JAWS will be tweaking it's support for the Windows terminal to better support this new power. Well, that's not the end of the story, as it transpires. Coming soon, according to the following announcement, is the ability to download and install other Linux distributions on your Windows 10 machine including Suse and Fedora. Aparently, one can even run multiple Linux distributions side by side, should that be desirable for any reason. Here's the Microsoft announcement: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/commandline/2017/05/11/new-distros-coming-t So, I'm wondering where will our community gather to share support for this environment? Afaik, this list is still the best choice. I'm aware of no other. But, I know there's a need. An example is the need for an effective clipboard mechanism. Apparently, that's not currently present. Guess I'll file a bug when I get my Apple Bootcamp Windows environment up and running later this week. hth Janina -- Janina Sajka, Phone: +1.443.300.2200 sip:janina@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Email: janina@xxxxxxxxxxx Linux Foundation Fellow Executive Chair, Accessibility Workgroup: http://a11y.org The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) Chair, Accessible Platform Architectures http://www.w3.org/wai/apa _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
