Use Wsl to get a lot of the benefits of linux

[-] brian@programming.dev 6 points 9 months ago

I've put more work into getting wsl to work at work than I have my home linux machines. it's just so unreliable for some reason. I ended up just giving up and running a full vm instead, and it's so much nicer since I can just pretend windows doesn't exist

Especially when enabling wsl is incompatible with running a VM. I want to run VM not only for Linux! Yeah just installing a full vm is better.

Same here. It's nice that I can do some of regular Linux flow on my laptop but it's so much to get to consistently just work .
