The talk is finished. There's also a pre-recorded demo: https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Build/2016/P488
Apparently the files are stored in a hidden user directory as normal NTFS files. It's still unclear why the filesystem appears as read-only, but apt-get does work, so I imagine Nix will work fine too, unless it uses one of the unimplemented syscalls. it's not going to be available for another 1-2 weeks, and then only to Windows Insiders (but it's free to join that program). I don't think Nix should drop MinGW or Cygwin support though (what little works), since it will still be useful for compiling GUI things (e.g. SDL games). -- Mathnerd314 On Wed, Mar 30, 2016 at 1:01 PM, Mathnerd314 <[email protected]> wrote: > The talk was scheduled before today; I think it's too early for April. > > https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Build/2016/C906 > > What's not clear is how the linux files are stored; it looks like the root > filesystem is read-only in Dustin Kirkland's post, which would preclude > using a package manager. > > -- Mathnerd314 >
