Early WSL was a pain, but they’ve come a long way. My entire web dev stack works natively on WSL these days–and WSL2 is due any day now, which should make it entirely on-par going forward.
- wwweston 7y agoThat's big news! Apparently any day now is by the end of June. Here's the announcement for anyone who (like me) hadn't already heard: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/announcing-wsl-2/ I'm a little skeptical given the shortcomings/difficulties I encountered last year, but a solid competitor to macOS as a unix workstation with broad desktop app support would be great to have.
- owenwil 7y agoEven in the last year it’s actually a dramatic shift in the landscape. I use WSL as my full-time development environment with Docker/PHP/Node.JS, and have few problems getting anything working–no more than any other platform.
