What I'm hoping for, for all langauges and runtimes, is some global opt-in to WSL. If I have node or python installed on WSL, I would love it if the Windows version of VSCode could act as if it were the Linux version.
- fulafel 8y agoNot a Windows users but curious about WSL - could you run Linux VSCode under WSL?
- a_humean 8y agoNo idea. I've only ever tried running cli tools and programming run-times.
- pythonaut_16 8y agoIt's not really supported, but you can run GUI programs with some amount of success by setting up X forwarding. Some programs work better than others, but I probably wouldn't want to run my code editor in it.
- int_19h 8y agoYes, you can! Setting up UI under WSL is a bit of a pain, because there's nothing out of the box - so you need to set up X on Windows, or use VNC or RDP. RDP is the easiest by far right now - just install xrdp in WSL, edit the config so that it uses a different port, and connect to localhost from Windows.
