        not really scalable when you want to just stick the usb stick in a family member’s PC. They dont want you fucking around with WSL, or they probably run home edition which has no hyper-v for WSL

            Yes reformat my already working keys for the one time I have to plug into a Windows box, or you know Microsoft could put the effort into being compatible.

              They did. But you always have something to complain about. Grow up.

                of course! You’re right! Suggesting in a thread discussing a large corporation that wants to be seen as pro open source (hearting Linux, buying github) for the last decade does something with open source code in their OS and being bold enough to do even more in the name of native compatibility is childish!
