I think the benefit might be a bit better on Windows? My understanding is that the overhead on Windows to launch a process is larger than on Linux/Mac?

My best guess is that file lock doesn't work correctly over some network protocols. We might need an environmental variable that disables that entire feature for these kind of situations...

I'm going to close this, I think this was essentially a problem that we distributed some binaries incorrectly.

@fingolfin I think the problem is (or at least was when I tried this ages ago) that launching say `julia 1.0` did not automatically offer to install Rosetta, but instead...

Just FYI, I'm currently taking the PR from @maleadt that we reverted and am modifying that a bit with some of the new strategies we discussed since then. Will hopefully...

My long-term hope is that we can get this machinery here into Ubuntu/Debian as `sudo apt install julia`. But I think before we can even attempt that we need to...

To be perfectly honest, I'm not even sure we should keep the cron thing around.. I think in practice the checks that happen when one launches `julialauncher` are probably good...

> If this is going to be done, shouldn't it be separate from juliaup? Yes, at least initially I definitely think so. If something emerges that is super reliable and...

I think at the end of the day this would be better handled in Julia itself. For example, if Julia 1.9.0 started, detected that no shared env for 1.9 exists,...

[This](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/invitation-to-vizcon-2-12-16-march-2020/33806/17?u=davidanthoff) suggests that we can probably avoid the whole Plots.jl integration entirely, and just use the recipes directly. Another important question is whether we want to put this stuff into...
