The new wsl, along with VS Code's new remote development extension, could make Windows an interesting beast with two identities: a primary host for regular business and consumer software, and a linux client for development.
I did use Windows & wsl for development for much of 2018, and (coming from a mac) found it surprisingly usable. The separate filesystem hierarchies was a bit of a pest, and I reverted to Linux for the first time in some years. But that has plenty of its own annoyances, and I'll be interested to check out wsl 2.
- newen 7y agoYep, I had been using WSL for most of my programming last year too, and I found it to be pretty decent. I switched to my dual boot Linux recently because I couldn't use the GPU via WSL. But if this lets me use the GPU, then I won't need to have a separate Linux install anymore, which would be pretty convenient.
