Due to what our IT department can support, I am issued a Windows

so I am evaluating doing my builds using the Windows Subsystem for
Linux (WSL) by building a poky/morty image. Overall it seems to be
working. I've had an issue that I've worked through and other issues
that I'm not quite sure what is going on.
Hi Brian,
I have been trying the same thing attempting to build Automotive Grade
Linux from Linux for Windows subsystem.
We have many adopter of AGL who also receive Windows PC from their IT
department. While VM work, they impose a serious limitation on memory
and CPU usage.
Does anyone else think doing embedded linux development on windows
machines is a ridiculous situation, and needs to be discussed with
companies management? IT departments should either support product R&D
work (because at the end of the day that is where the company makes
money), or stay out of the way and let engineers self-manage their
computers, including installing weird operating systems.

I suspect that technical people saying technical things have very little
impact on upstream bean-counters.
If one was to, say, quantify the amount of time and therefore money the
entire team are putting into wrangling the Windows machines into doing a
half baked job of building Linux versus the capital cost and (presumably
negligible) cost of IT support, with a commentary on limiting any
security impact, I suspect some spanking new Linux boxes would arrive
quite quickly
Cheers,
Alex
