NASA opts for Linux over Windows for use within the ISS. https://training.linuxfoundation.org...nux-migration/

<Gasp> NASA gets it right! Let's hope they don't allow WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux).

Let's hope they don't allow WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux).

As the article stated, NASA wanted 'control' over the OS, so that as needs arise they can modify/fix etc; something they can't do with MS Windows.

And the guy who did the training is a kernel developer, among other things:


Dominic Duval has worked as the director of Enterprise Training at the Linux Foundation. He spent the last few years in the financial industry, helping Morgan Stanley and, more recently, Goldman Sachs with their vast and complex Linux deployments. As a kernel developer, Dominic started bridging the gap between enterprise environments and the Linux community more than a decade ago by writing and presenting several Linux trainings to corporate audiences. His collaboration with Red Hat Global Learning Services allowed him to deliver trainings to thousands of people and gain a privileged understanding of the needs of corporate users, especially in high performance environments.
