Recently switched from mac to windows (wsl2). My previous attempts (switching to linux or wsl1) all failed miserably but the wsl2 is pretty good.
And I could build a PC as I wish. Weird times.
- diarrhea 6y agoWhat makes WSL2 work for you, where WSL1 failed?
- SahAssar 6y agoUsually he answer is either having a init that can run services or FS performance.
- eknkc 6y agoWSL1 had / has really bad filesystem performance. Git commands would take ages on large repos as a example. WSL2 has a linux fs which is fast and a bridge to windows fs which is still slow but I just live on the linux fs. WSL2 also runs native docker (and windows docker client and leverage the docker daemon in wsl). It is not completely seamless but pretty good.
