I enjoy having windows as a machine for gaming and hacking, but WSL feels slow. Simple things like compiling and running watchers/servers for local changes.
What's the recommended approach for (non-visual-studio) coding larger projects? Install Linux on another partition? Use native binaries and forget about WSL?
Fwiw I like working in NeoVim and it's been great in WSL-terminal, overall I'm happy with that route - but the slowness is annoying...
- tutysara 8y agoYes even things like git are comparitively slow on wsl. Emacs in windows is also slow, haven't found a solution to this.
- mattigames 8y agoWhy would you use git on wsl when the project itself has released binaries for Windows?

- devxpy 8y agoKeep calm and install solus ;)
- mattigames 8y agoFor watchers and servers I use native nodejs/gulp/webpack (no WSL), apache and for code edition I'm more than happy with Sublime Text with a bunch of plugins.
