Yes indeed! And I will gladly attempt to finally dig into WSL at that point. For now I just use choco and pwsh and I find myself productive with go/node/elixir/rust without needing WSL just yet.
I mainly use Windows for games but every now and then I don't want to leave my desktop to make some changes to a repo while my character is respawning/spectating or something haha
WSL2 is going to be awesome for sure
- craz8 7y agoI’m loving WSL2 on my Insiders build. But there are issues with local host networking and file updates to Windows apps right now that need to be worked around But it is very fast! The Insider build also green screens less often than the most recent general release did! Having Github available for issues is great too, as you can see progress being made in fixing the bugs - I feel more connected then when I actually worked inside Microsoft!
- 3PS 7y agoI'm curious, are you still experiencing issues with localhost networking? I'd read that as of build 18945, those issues should mostly be fixed. [1] Or is it that you're hosting applications on Windows and trying to access them from Linux?

- craz8 7y agoSome people still are - mine now works. I think it depends on your Linux server binding to 127.0.0.1 or 0.0.0.0 I’m currently working on cross host code, so being forced to use the Hosts file actually helped me out! I haven’t tried going from Linux to Windows via localhost though I do have issues running multiple Selenium tests with a headless browser. Running 1 process works ok though
