    You say 'picking up' like anyone would ever use Windows to run hermes or even an AI model.

      Why not? There are plenty running on Windows.

        windows is not the ideal os for developers, prefer using one close to your cloud environments, don't shrug off the additional complexity of wsl, it's not the same

        windows cannot be made as safe either, simple things like running agents as their own user rather than your user

          What? Do people use WSL to pretend they are on Linux? Is that a thing??

          Noticed Ollama has a Windows version, ok, I just wonder why, but that is for desktop, but WSL? Does anyone really use that? And why?
