I use WSL all day every day. There are two things holding it back from being a better *nix experience than OSX:
1) the terminal sucks.
2) WSL should be a service. Or at least we should be able to choose to have it always-on regardless of a terminal being open. We need to be able to have WSL start at boot.
(Now wondering if anyone has made some sort of WSL System Tray app)
- teilo 9y agoMac user here, but in Windows all day on Parallels and servers. For #1, this is a tremendous help: https://conemu.github.io https://conemu.github.io It's the first thing I install on Windows. Comes with build-in profiles for bash/WSL, powershell, cmd, and Admin sessions of the latter two. Still not as good as iTerm or stock Terminal, but a massive improvement over cmd.exe. #2: Totally agree, but I think things are moving this direction.
- fellellor 9y agoThe terminal does suck. I use hyper instead of the default wsl bash. I find it to be a much better experience.
