Great work, I'll definitely be checking this out. I find myself using the WSL more and more recently. It still has plenty of rough edges, but Microsoft seem to be committed to improving it. The lack of a full Linux like terminal is probably one of the bigger reasons I can't switch fully over to Windows.
- pythonaut_16 10y agoSupposedly whenever it exits beta they will publish a stable API/ABI, at which point hopefully different software platforms and IDEs (e.g. IntelliJ, Visual Studio) can target it and interface more directly with it. My only holdout for Linux right now is that I can't just tell Pycharm to use WSL for the Python interpreter; you still have to register the WSL Python as a remote SSH connection.
- alfalfasprout 10y agoI would actually not mind using windows if there was a way to use a native linux toolchain (including running and debugging) from within Windows. Especially if I could use something like CLion to do it. But alas it's not quite there yet. Valgrind doesn't even work yet.
- marsrover 10y agoThe lack of a full Linux like terminal is also my current hold back. I know I can use VcXsrv and run xfce4-terminal, but I would rather use something that is more native to Windows than some hacky solution. In addition, now that the Windows Console supports 24-bit color, using things like ConEmu feels like two steps back (ConEmu doesn't support 24-bit color).
- baldfat 10y agoThis drives my crazy BUT I have found mobaxterm http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/ http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/ is the best solution for me. So much so I threw money at them.
