WSL 2 is the real game changer.
I'm on an issue for WSL 1 where there's a nasty bug when dealing with a lot of files. The only way you can free up the file system is to restart. https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/2882 https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/2882
WSL 2 alleviates this file issue. There are some issues where daemons like postgres, mongo, etc. aren't started by default and sysctl.conf isn't respected. A manual command has to be ran.
Windows 10 is fast. It has amazing support for high resolution displays and multi-monitor that a light year ahead of anything Linux has unfortunately.
WSL also gives choice of distro. You get to use the stable packages instead of being stuck with a brew package that's broken.
- NotSammyHagar 7y agoThe many linux distros are also great. What do you need windows for? I can't stand the windows 10 auto updates and monitoring that is a huge pain to turn off. Why don't people just use linux? Is there some dev tool on windows you really prefer?
