WSL 🍻

I LOVE WSL!

I like windows's UI simple I can do jobs faster than mac and adding linux terminal on that is perfect work environment for me.

Some benefist of this setup:

• Use new windows terminal (best terminal ever) setting default terminal to wsl
• Run docker under wsl
• Vscode and see the wsl file system
• View Linux gui apps under wsl
• Runnable .exe files from terminal

There is still some cons, need to much more flexibility of the wsl machine like networking, passthrough devices.

Issues

Cannot execute windows binaries

microsoft/WSL#8843 (comment)

sudo sh -c 'echo :WSLInterop:M::MZ::/init:PF > /usr/lib/binfmt.d/WSLInterop.conf'

After shutdown and restart WSL, you can execute windows binaries.

wsl --shutdown
