Has that changed from wsl 1? I've seen bad things about directly trying to modify the files within wsl. It's not the appdata folder right?

- cosmie 7y agoMicrosoft is even integrating seamless access shortcuts to the WSL filesystems as top level citizens within File Explorer[1]. https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/8/21213783/microsoft-windows-10-linux-file-explorer-integration-features https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/8/21213783/microsoft-windows...

- noisem4ker 7y agoSince version 1903, the proper way to access Linux files for writing is to invoke explorer.exe from within WSL. A transparent 9P mount is created for the working directory and files are made accessible through a regular Explorer window. https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/whats-new-for-wsl-in-windows-10-version-1903/ https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/whats-new-for-wsl...
- rfoo 7y agoThis has been changed. WSL 2 VM now runs a 9p file server, and on the Windows side it mounts to \\wsl$. Of course, the performance are degraded. It would certainly take longer for Intellij to index your project.
- WorldMaker 7y agoWSL 1 also supports the 9p file server and \\wsl$, you just have to upgrade to at least Windows 10 1903. (Also, hints are that Microsoft is exploring adding shortcuts to \\wsl$ directly to the File Explorer left hand tree.)
