WSL integration love wears off pretty quickly I find. There are so many rough edges and broken things.
While debugging a UDP server recently I discovered that any attempt to capture anything via UDP was scuppered entirely by the networking abstraction. Also the bastardised lack of services is problematic.
Thus I’ve gone back to virtual box and Debian. You still can use VSCode but have to jump through some more hoops
- shaklee3 6y agoAre you on wsl1 or 2?
- qz2 6y ago2 There are too many weird compromises and bugs with it. Better to stick with a tidier abstraction.
- anthonygd 6y agoPersonally the more I use WSL the less inclined I am to ever use either direct Linux or MacOS again. Of course, that's WSL 2, there are definitely rough edges on WSL 1.
- qz2 6y agoMy point was regarding WSL2. I will never use macOS again though. That is completely dead for me but that’s a whole another story.
